The Miners Welfare Center

In our vision for the project we prioritise the creation of an architectural object that not only impacts its elderly demographic; but also the town, as a whole - creating a significant impact on the entirety of the local urban fabric.

This will retain the identity of the space whilst allowing it to evolve with the changing needs of the town’s inhabitants. A space to host events which remains relevant all year around through the changing fabric of the architecture; facilitating the identity of the community.

As a team, we would define our architectural approach as being socially sustainable to support the community in creating their new identity. Creating an adaptable design to increase longevity through diverse interconnecting spaces - considering the impact on future generations. We wish to design spaces with attract diverse groups of people".
