Docklands Community Hub and Boating Facility, Melbourne
Melbourne’s Docklands has experienced an unprecedented
make-over since 2000. Not all of it winning the public’s
hearts and minds. More recent developments—a library
of considerable note and new community centre/boating
hub—are finally invigorating the water end of Bourke
and Collins Streets.
Such projects, rather than wham-bam towers are vital set
pieces in rounding out the true experience of place. A
comparatively modest Community and Boating Hub may just
signal a shift of gear from the rows of transplanted high-rise.
Central to this small, vibrant project is Viridian’s performance
glass to better bring the waterfront within reach of the
everyday visitor.
