Revitalising the St Clement’s Centre

The reconfiguration of the St Clement’s Centre transformed it into a vibrant community hub. By integrating modern and historic design elements, the project revitalised the space, making it a valuable asset in the local area. The restored historic entrance now serves as a bright, welcoming feature, creating an open and inviting atmosphere for visitors.

New Central Hub

The redesigned central hub includes a kitchenette, break-out space, and an office for the general manager. These updates improve connections with user groups, providing a functional and welcoming environment for meetings, events, and daily use.

Sustainable Design Features

Sustainable design features enhance the space. Covered bicycle parking encourages eco-friendly transportation, while a timber pergola guides visitors toward the entrance. Additionally, potted trees add a fresh, green aesthetic and create a calming, natural atmosphere throughout the exterior.

Modernised Facilities

A separate phase of the project refurbished the WCs, bringing them up to contemporary standards of accessibility, design, and functionality. The update ensures comfort and practicality for all users.

A Stronger Community Connection

The thoughtful design of the St Clement’s Centre strengthens the sense of community. The centre now provides a space for connection and collaboration, becoming a cherished local asset that fosters growth and welcomes all who use it.

The project team included the St Clement’s Community Property Trust, Lemontree PI, skp3, and Ridge and Partners.
