JOIN OUR COMMUNITY HUB CHALLENGE
Y Chhe Group, in partnership with TK Central and KLATFORM, seek visionary ideas for a new Community Hub in Toul Kork, Phnom Penh.
A community hub is more than just a building—it is a space that brings people together, offering opportunities for learning, creativity, recreation, and connection. As cities evolve, the importance of these third places, spaces beyond home and work becomes essential for fostering social bonds and strengthening local identity.
Overview
Toul Kork, once a quiet residential district in Phnom Penh, has rapidly transformed into a vibrant urban area, home to a mix of long-time residents, young professionals, and a growing international community. As the area continues to develop, the need for inclusive, flexible, and accessible spaces that serve a diverse population is more important.
This competition invites architecture students to design a community hub that reflects the needs, values, and character of Toul Kork.The centre should serve as a welcoming, and adaptable space that enhances the social fabric of the neighborhood
