Dhammasara Monastrey

The Buddhist Society of Western Australia is establishing the Dhammasara Buddhist Monastery at Gidgegannup. A complicated pavilion arrangement is included in the new build design, which consists of a new 470m2 Meditation Hall with a coffered ceiling and access walkways in the roof space. A commercial kitchen and an operable wall separate the areas in the massive 382m2 Dining Hall.

​

The 220m2 amenities block comprises laundry and multiple amenities facilities to accommodate the enormous number of individuals that use the facility, which can reach 300 persons at a time. Over 662m2 of built space is devoted to the Library, Accommodation Wing, and Covered Terrace. Over the 40 hectare site at Gidgegannup, a total of 2101m2 of the building has been completed.

BE Projects collaborated with the Buddhist Nuns who lived on the land, taking all cultural celebrations and sensitivities into account.
