The aim of the project is to create a mixed use building with clear boundaries between private and public spaces. The accommodation needed to house at least twenty residents including two accessible rooms. Other requirements included co-working, social, and recreation spaces. The residents I chose to cater for were young NHS workers stationed at the Royal and Women’s Hospitals in Liverpool.
Public spaces include a gym and cafe with a social plaza that interacts with the street on the south of the site. Private spaces established with the tower act as a threshold between the plaza and atrium. The design used the brick tower for co-working spaces that has access to views of Liverpool’s skyline. The atrium space on the ground and first floors acts as private social and dining spaces. For affordable living, the main accommodation is spread over the second floor in modular living pods.
