The design of the Bloke\u2019s Shed has won Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s interior architecture student Kara Van Lieshout a commendation at the recent WA Design Institute of Australia Awards.<\/p>\n
Modelled on traditional notions of a man\u2019s shed, the space provides a targeted support service for men experiencing relationship breakdowns.<\/p>\n
The fourth year student, of North Lake, said the project brief set for them by Curtin was to design for a minority group in Fremantle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bloke\u2019s Shed is designed to occupy the Moore\u2019s Building in Fremantle. I wanted to design a facility that encouraged unity and support through easy interaction,\u201d Kara said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe design incorporates sustainable materials and principles and the interiors and spaces have the feel of a working shed.<\/p>\n
\u201cFremantle has its own men\u2019s shed, The Fremanshed, which I visited to conduct some research. The men were extremely helpful and I would really like for the guys to see what their collaboration inspired me to design.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kara\u2019s design comes with a fully equipped woodwork, metalwork, welding and grinding area, a general workspace and social areas, outdoor garden, garden tools and a barbeque area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of a men\u2019s shed provides an effective, yet subtle support service for men and encourages team work to help the men of Fremantle as well as the wider community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
