SYNTHESIS PROJECT / SECOND YEAR

The focus of the synthesis project was to provide a working space in Nottingham for persons with an artistic interest in pottery. In order to create a space which was suitable for people within this industry, minimalist materials were selected with a neutral colour palette, with certain features highlighted by the use of copper tones, inspired from earthenwear pottery. The disused Victorian warehouse is internally reconstructed to transform the structure into a multifunctional space, which allows for the hosting of classes and events whilst acting as a versatile studio space. In addition to this, bespoke storage spaces throughout the design display the completed pieces of the potters whether for sale purposes or exhibitions. Moreover, the location of the site being adjacent to Nottingham Contemporary, allows for an increased exposure to (aesthetes/art lovers) whilst giving the added opportunity for exhibitions.
