Wanju Marr: Kings Park Volunteer Hub | Kings Park WA
2020 Commendation - AIA WA Chapter Awards - Small Project Architecture
MJA Studio has skillfully designed a companion building for an existing c2001 garden staff building in Kings Park. Wanju Marr, a Whadjuk name for “welcome hand”, complements the existing building to provide offices, workshops and meeting areas for Kings Park Volunteers.
The simple form and material palette of the building respects the natural environment and incorporates well-considered detailing; such as edge, junction and parapet. Attention to intersections and the concealing of connections, including the jarrah cladding shadow lines and jarrah flitch posts, contribute to a refined design.
