Project : London Road Pavilion Location : London Road. Sheffield The project is split into three components that together bring a run-down area of London Road until a hot spot for the local community. Firstly, a café was to be designed that would seat multiple groups of people with a degree of separation as to create a space that can be used during the current times of the pandemic.

In my design I have settled for a small structure that opens to create more outdoor seating with a degree of separation to allow small groups to gather and enjoy food and drinks outside. I have also incorporated trees and bushes into the design to supress any noise from the roads surrounding the site and also improved the quality of the space.

Process sketches show the concept of the café, showing how the separation of spaces will be achieved and created separated spaces creating individual space with varying sizes to accommodate different clients

The second part of the design process was designing outdoor spaces, which would again allow the community to have a space to interact and socialise at a distance. I have primarily decided to explore creating outdoor furniture that would make the space practical and allow locals to work in the environment and be closer with nature.

I have also spent some time creating spaces for children that would make the park an interesting space for people of all ages.

The third component of the design was creating a sports pavilion which would be flexible in nature to allow variety of activities and events to take place within it to enrich the community life in London Road. The design has resulted in a series of large spaces which are very flexible as to the nature of the activities within them, such as the ground floor conference space which can hold many community meetings, guest talks and social events. The upstairs space is very open and with the purpose of holding various sport classes for all people of all abilities. There are also smaller spaces focusing on providing education for the locals in form of little classrooms that can be used for training courses and after school activities.

A series of structures emerge from the slope. Each façade an individual ecosystem made of species of moss and lichen embedded in concrete. These structures together create a series of spaces and exhibitions where the public can learn about the purpose of seedbanks and learn more about the ecology of the peak district.
