Description

Louw Group was engaged to deliver the architectural documentation for the new Family Centre located within the Borroloola Central mixed-use development, creating a culturally appropriate and functional support facility for families, children and the broader Borroloola community.

The fit-out included planning for meeting spaces, children’s activity areas, staff accommodation, communal support areas and associated amenities.
