Central Hub catering to teens, and kids adults

and elders...

The Central Hub is a mixed-used commercial, retail and residential site in Precinct 75, St Peters. Through a change of levels and stairs throughout the site, movement is encouraged towards the northern social spaces. The site was designed as a place where the whole community can gather, with permeable spaces for temporal events such as weekend markets and live music. A comfortable environment was created through greenery, places of respite, water features, and a separation of social spaces amongst different age groups and residents. A communal park was designed as a passive social space for use by adults; a skatepark with seating was created for teenagers; whilst a childcare centre with a large playground was designed for children and situated away from the apartments and the adults’ communal space to minimise noise. With the target demographic of young families, a separation of space was also designed within the apartments to accommodate for different users’ needs, with a separated office or social space for either the parent or children to retreat to. A healthy living environment was also maintained with morning or afternoon light reaching all habitable rooms, ample cross ventilation, and external views to the communal spaces.
