Djerring Flemington Hub | Croxon Ramsay
The Djerring Flemington hub has been designed to foster social inclusion and sustainable design. Located at Debneys park, at the backdoor to the local public housing estate, the hub acts as an extension to these residents homes. Therefore, the connection to the public housing became the key focus of this design. Many community consultation sessions were run to understand the needs of the community. The building acts as a place of refuge for residents providing spaces to inhabit without the need to engage in scheduled program, as well as providing space for religious practices. The form took inspiration from the concept of shelter and the home. Using the portal frame as the foundation for the building as this is common in a domestic setting and feels approachable to the community. The form also aids in the passive design among other key features designed to achieve a 5star Green Star rating.
