​The Oxygen Youth Centre design was produced by Dickson Architecture in a competition setting for Moreland City Council.  The brief was to produce a flexible design that could be built in several stages, allowing progressively more use of the allocated site.  Each part of the built solution was to be prefabricated off site for quick and efficient installation. 
Cost effective design detailing and bold detailing were strong drivers of the design, allowing the design brief to be met within the nominated budget, while having a strong street presence to resonate with the young user groups.  Sustainable design solutions including water collection & recycling, and passive solar design were features of the building complex.
