The project is central to the multiple-award-winning and environmentally focused residential development 'The Point'.  Positioned at the precinct entry adjacent waterways, the Community Hub acts as a 'Gateway' building providing amenity and facilities for community groups and visitors.

The exterior is expressed as a series of two boathouses perched on the edge of a pier. Inside, clean lines showcase the lake views, featuring exposed handcrafted timber trusses with a use of muted natural materials designed to weather and meld into the landscape over time.

To help achieve this, we paid significant design attention to integrate or entirely conceal the building services and systems. This includes the ductwork, PV cells and mechanical services.

The result is a cleanly detailed and formally balanced building that seamlessly complements the overall development. Officially launched in November 2019, the hub has been excellently received by the local community and visitors.
