Holgate Site, depicting in-construction classroom + Practical lecture

Pragmatic education and skill building is the most relevant and engaging way of learning for children who have trouble in a traditional classroom setting. This concept aims to engage students, teachers and parents in the construction of the new project. This real-world experience will give all involved invaluable information that’s instantly applicable to studies, personal goals and future job prospects. 

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).
