CONNECTIONS

The brief was to design a new space for the client Vitra who are an international furnishing company in the existing space of the Bargehouse building located on the South Bank of London.

Developing the design and project must include Vitra’s key values of sustainability, collaboration, innovation, good work ethic and eco-friendly approaches to design.

The concept is to create a space where people from all generations can make connections with their local community through the exchanging of artistic skills, old techniques, and experiences.

Another aim of the space is to also raise awareness of loneliness which is part of mental health that not many people speak about. Therefore, to combat the issue is to provide a safe place where the community can connect and improve on their social interactions.
