Holgate Gymnasium (re-design)

Physical Activity is of upmost importance at Holgate. Introducing recycled laquered plywood as cladding gives a more welcoming atmosphere, while maintaining the durability needed for a gymnasium. 

Holgate = The Goal

2022

Holgate is a specialist school for children with SEMH needs. I was tasked with a redesign, and after research, focus groups and interactive feedback sessions with teachers and students, my concept encapsulated more than just materiality. 

Focusing on a long-term concept, this proposal portrays a site-wide solution that attempts to involve community at every corner.
‘Holgate Hall’ is a flexible, open-access bookable space for anyone after school hours (8AM-2PM).
