PROJECT DATE

September 2020 - December 2020

PROJECT LOCATION

226 Main St., Winnipeg, MB

The project aims to become a space where individuals come together to create clothes through sewing and embroidering, by teaching and learning, a space where opportunities thrive. People seeking to earn money through their creations or people seeking to earn a new skill set.

Within the space would be an open concept workshop, with designated private workspaces if needed. These private spaces would not be completely secluded, as some barriers in the space would not be the convectional material such as concrete. A sort of transparency flows throughout the building, creating a welcoming atmosphere all throughout.
