A bright and colourful expansion transforms the formerly introverted character of the existing community centre by adding bold colour accents and opening spaces to the outdoors. The fitness area and circulation spaces were expanded, and new program uses including a multipurpose studio, teen room, 25-space child care and outdoor activity terraces were added. The child care is intimately scaled for toddlers with extensive cork-lined walls to ensure ample space for the display of colourful artwork. A glazed canopy and sluice directs a stream of rainwater to create an active wet play zone. A large outdoor terrace offer opportunities for spontaneous play and community gatherings.
