Working towards my masters in architecture application, the University was approached by 1st Stockton Scout Group for ideas for a new scout hut. The group is a registered charity with around 60 young members aged between 5 to 18, and part of a global youth movement with some 40 million members.
As part of self-build housing development, the group are relocating to a new building, some of which will be built by the developer, the rest by the group themselves. This should not limit the ambition of any proposal but should be considered in the material and structural options available. The group will be undertaking fundraising to support the construction so the work made here will help support grant applications, raise public awareness and may develop into a built project.
So the following is my proposal that is true to the word 'Hut'. with the concept consisting of four aspects; An open frame hut, infills by students, an oversized structure, of which can be expanded in the future.
