Introversion/Extroversion

This project aims to challenge the stigmatization of mental health and promote acceptance by taking an inclusive approach. Situated inside Carriageworks Bay 16 and adjacent Transverse 1, the design incorporates a carefully layered approach to introduce site inspired programs like art therapy and drama based intervention to enable young people to express themselves. Landscape and public spaces flowing from outside to inside creates a seamless community hub and dismembered programmed spaces portray different personalities in order to celebrate multiplicity, empower youth and the wider community to engage in a positive dialogue.

The ground plane weaves share programmed spaces with natural elements as a community space flowing from indoors to outdoors. The facility is housed on level two to maintain privacy.

Key moments of pause and transition between active spaces allows for chance encounters and intuitive movement flow.
