Onside youth zone Hugh Boughton

eye catching and state of the art design, circulation has been carefully considered and woven into a scheme characterised by simplicity, light and volume natural drop off in front of the main entrance; an area for parking minibuses, staff cars and for maintenance; and a skate zone overlooked by the café. repeating triangular colour coated aluminium slats, which offer a varied perspective depending on the angle from which they are seen – bringing a kinetic energy to the building. designs allow for easy maintenance and low cost in use matched by a grass roots approach to sustainability underpinned by passive measures rather than bolt-on technologies. high levels of insulation, rooflights to the sports hall incorporating photovoltaic panels and a green roof to reduce water run-off.

Youth Zone for young people, which will attract attention, sit comfortably within its context and provide the highest quality facilities, which can inspire young people for generations to come.

The distinctive Y-shape creates clearly defined zones for the different activities of the Youth Zone.

The exterior design with its elegantly curved facades responds to the geometry of the building to provide a beacon instantly recognizable by passing motorists and pedestrians.
