Client Tower Hamlets Health Authority Trust
Budget £110.000
The scheme comprises of the refurbishment of two retail units to create a basecamp for the under four’s and those that care for and work with them. To develop the brief muf consulted with both the client and through two temporary events created on site, with the wider client body. The 100msqflexible space can be used as a boardroom or a playroom. The glazed facade veils views from the street by the application of Bengali and English texts rendered in gold and scarlet lettering. These texts advertise the work and presence of SureStart in a way that avoids the usual aesthetic and therefore stigma of associated with community provision.
