Sanctuary Design Competition

Collaborative Work with: Connor Bryan, Emily Ward, Jannat Laskar

The project began from an invitation from 'Bronwen's Wish', a Trust Fund set up by Bronwen Morgan's family after the tragic suicide of Bronwen due to mental health struggles. The Trust was set up to provide sanctuaries for primary school children who are dealing with emotional and well-being issues. The Hive is a proposal in response to this brief, focusing on hightening children's interactions with their senses and allowing them to feel at ease while dealing with their emotions. The proposal is comprised of interconnecting hexagonal sensory 'hubs' that provide flexibility in layout and wall fabrication; the idea can be integrated across other primary schools and customised to their needs.
