Project Brief
The new 12,000m2 building for the Brimbank City Council is located at the current Sunshine Library site on Hampshire Road. The facility will incorporate a library, community spaces and municipal offices over 7 levels. Lyons were appointed following an invited design competition, with the proposal creating highly visible and accessible community spaces – conceived as a series of ‘urban rooms’. This project will be a landmark building for the City of Brimbank, contributing to the revitalisation of the Sunshine town centre, and the public spaces of the Library and Community Meetings Rooms will provide an important meeting hub for the Community.
