The building and all its beauty…
Jimmy’s Youth Wellbeing Sanctuary, is just that… a true haven for youth on the Mornington Peninsula. Designed by the very talented team at Co-op Studio, the two-storey, dual frontage facility, provides young people with a collaborative, recreational and reflective space; a calm environment to socialise and learn. A space which is equally as beautiful, as it is functional.
The Sanctuary cleverly combines a number of different and evolving zones including a multi-functional main group area, an internal courtyard (for passive engagement, time out and conversation), a meditation and yoga room, a social enterprise cafe, a gallery space and accommodation for specific youth retreats.
The building accommodates all physical abilities and has been designed to achieve maximum energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
