Project Description
Barking & Dagenham Youth Zone – London | 2016 – 2019
CLIENT | Onside Youth Zone
VALUE | £6 million
SERVICE | Principal Designer
A purpose-built facility for young people aged 8 – 19.
The site is on the corner of the existing park bounded by Montrose Avenue and the Northern Line, both of which have played important roles in the massing and organisation of the design. Providing the mix of facilities based upon OnSide Youth Zones 21st Century Youth Facility Model, the facility includes a sports hall, climbing wall, fitness suite, health and wellbeing project rooms and mentoring kitchen organised around a central recreation area, along with a roof top 3G kick pitch.
Timber cladding and natural stone on the façade have been selected in this park setting, along with fibre cement panels and fenestration to create a careful synergy of materiality to provide variation and interest to the park facing elevations and also help to break up the massing of the sports hall.
