This project sees the rejuvenation of two main buildings on the site.
Clearly outdated and tired, the design makes maximum value of the key elements of the existing building but improves these to provide the range of facilities required for the future of this community.
Facilities provided include:
- Activities Hall
- Social Hall
- Variety of meeting rooms
- Art and Craft Spaces
- Art Gallery
- Exhibition Space
- Commercial Kitchen
- Social Consultation spaces
- Outdoor civic areas
The project involved considerable consultation with the various groups contained in the building. Clever design solutions brought together the synergies between such groups to ensure sharing and maximum utilisation of all spaces.
"A Structure that engages and excites, creating presence and identity."
