We are so very proud to have worked with Jimmy’s Youth Sanctuary and YMCA Peninsula Youth Services to design and deliver Jimmy’s Youth Wellbeing Sanctuary.
Jimmy’s assists young people by engaging them in holistic wellbeing as well as skill-based learning to strengthen their mental, physical and emotional health.
Located on the esplanade in Rosebud, the sanctuary has been designed around breaking down barriers and creating a welcoming and positive environment for the youth of Rosebud and the Mornington Peninsula. It cleverly combines a number of flexible zones including a multi-functional main hospitality area, a central internal courtyard , a meditation and yoga room, a social enterprise cafe, a gallery space and accommodation for specific youth retreats.
The team partnered with Fiona Brockhoff Design for the amazing landscape design as the landscape was an essential part of creating a positive and calming space in and around the new facility.
