In Fremantle, the University of Notre Dame’s Student Hub underwent a Stage 2 upgrade led by Actus Associates, reimagining the space with a modern feel while respecting its heritage. Creating inclusive areas like the Games Room and Green Room.

What Actus told us they wanted.

The project required thoughtfully selected furniture that would support student engagement, comfort, and flexibility, while complementing the heritage setting and contemporary design intent.

 

How we acted on what we heard.

Castledex worked closely with Actus Associates to furnish the hub with custom-built and modular solutions that matched the evolving needs of student life.

Key highlights included:

  • Custom Booth Seating: U-shaped and Hut booths were designed to provide semi-private areas for focused work or casual conversation.
  • Flexible Seating: The “Four Likes” system by Ocee Four was selected for its modularity, supporting both individual study and group collaboration.
  • Cohesive Design: Every piece was chosen to blend seamlessly into the existing architecture while adding functionality and vibrancy.

Inspired results

Castledex successfully delivered:
  • Custom furniture solutions aligned with design and student needs
  • Flexible, engaging spaces that support a range of student activities
  • On-time delivery and installation in collaboration with the design team
The completed Student Hub is a vibrant fusion of heritage character and contemporary comfort. Castledex is proud to have supported Actus Associates and the University in creating a space that enhances connection, creativity, and campus life.
