Renescent was appointed to complete a high-end fitout and refurbishment within newly updated Hawthorn Arts Centre, comprising open plan and office accommodation together with front of house youth support spaces and a drop-in centre.

The drop-in centre consisted of multi-function meeting spaces, kitchen and breakout spaces as well as lecture type meeting accommodation. The design gives a contemporary feel and provides a great flexibility to the staff and clients of the service.

Some of the challenges overcome included working within a live building environment as well as accessing the gallery space to transport new services supporting additional WC and shower accommodation.
