The Belgrave Community Hub brings together over ten community service groups, turning the previously under-utilised site into a new hub for allied community health and emergency support services. The new two-storey hub features offices, multi-purpose rooms, meeting rooms, counselling rooms, reception and associated amenities, a loading bay and new public plaza.
The design and materials are inspired by the local streetscape and surrounding valley. Silvertop ash cladding references the weatherboards of local vernacular buildings, while the multipurpose rooms are expressed by a split brick clad form that echos the handcrafted aesthetic of the town. An undulating roof geometry introduces a gabled profile to the timber envelopes, referencing the topography of the Dandenongs and the peaked forms of the cottages of Belgrave. The materials of the exterior are used internally to form a robust and familiar palette, with coloured highlights inspired by the flora of the local environment.
