Shepparton Community Centre is a proposed women’s centre that aims to support and empower women of all walks of life by providing physical, mental, social, and security services for women. The centre supports women’s wellbeing by creating an environment that allows them to feel safe and comfortable enough to engage, participate, and communicate with their peers.

The main approach taken in this project is the concept of a ‘mask’ – where the main function of the centre is camouflaged by playing with levels of privacy in different ways. The structure of the spaces, the materials and textures, the levels of visibility and permeability are incorporated throughout the centre according to the level of privacy needed within a space to provide women with spaces that suit their preferences of privacy, which allows them to be as comfortable and safe as possible, promoting wellness and wellbeing for these women.
