St Augustines is a defacto community center in Hawthorne, Victoria. The building was built in 1889, it was initially a sunday school. Due to changes in the structure of society the uniting church has found that the center is no longer the focal point of the community. This intervention serves to return the center to the community. The proposed adaptive reuse of this building is inspired by the small study peripheral spaces which were an integral part of the original design of the building. An exploration of the interaction of the intervention with the existing building, these pod study areas are brought back as small group activity rooms.
