Chatham Intra Well-being Initiative.

This project introduces a mix-use, multi functioning well-being centre for the community in order to assist mental health and physical issues.

The project seeks to provide education in the specific skills needed to get a job. The idea of the building is to accommodate anyone. It is a social space made to encourage learning and creativity at any age. The buildings’ basic structure is built upon the same concepts as a school, but where schools have strict lines of direction, this space is made for the choice of learning and working.

The project is a renovation project of an old garage in Chatham Intra made of brick. The new building is built around it, framing the garage with a timber structure.

The sanctuary is a story about many stories. It is a place where one can regain the power that has been lost through domestic abuse through retreat and responsibility with a subconscious use of scent therapy. The architecture experiments with the capability of spontaneity and threshold. Like a Moroccan courtyard, the magic is within.

I like to imagine the sanctuary has a sort of experience close to seeing a sunset on the first warm evening of the summer. Once the sanctuary unravels like the sky completely covers in a warm glow, a sort of euphoric, emotional and calming experience both enters and leaves your consciousness with a sense of true peace. That relief that winter is behind us and summer is finally here.

Revitlising Chatham - The Pottery Cycle.

The cycle of pottery from broken to new is imitated through this scheme: A Ceramic studio that revolves entirely on “reuse and creation”.

Visitors can access workshop spaces for repair and creation that circulate towards the refectory as a celebratory area. The herb garden is harvested and used in the community kitchen to promote healthier eating. The riverfront is ultimately reconnected with additional green spaces and a sensory garden within the building as a break from the industrial forms.

With clay being collected directly from the river Medway and its use of locally grown herbs, the development focuses entirely on community and locality, restoring the cultural identity of Chatham.

Harmony Haven: A Music Performance Centre for Mental Health Support in Chatham Intra gkiokaeleni13@gmail.com

Harmony Haven is an innovative architecture project that aims to create a music performance center designed to serve as a social prescribing place for mental health support accessible to everyone. The project seeks to harness the therapeutic power of music, providing a welcoming and inclusive space where individuals can find solace, healing, and community connection.

The design concept of Harmony Haven revolves around creating an environment that promotes well-being, creativity, and a sense of belonging. The architecture embraces a harmonious blend of functionality, aesthetics, and acoustic excellence to enhance the experience of both performers and visitors.

After investigating with residents what they think could rehabilitate their community, we came to the conclusion that an activities centre would help prevent anti-social behaviour, improve the mental and physical wellbeing of residents and help give the forgotten area an identity.

In this project I researched into colour theory, coming to the finding that the combination of pink concrete and the biophilic green planting would help promote nutritious diets.

The centre is designed around the concept of making people move. This and the constraints of manouvering around the boundaries of a sportshall on the restrictive site led to the use of ‘Pepper Pot’ buildings, with these linked by ‘Connectors,’corridors which are the arteries of the building.

The Intra Town Hall takes an existing, derelict 60’s car showroom and transforms it into a multifunctional civic centre for the Medway community.

The project seeks to provide the local residents with facilities to conduct their civic lives; spaces that can be used for a variety of activities and events potentially desired by the community.

The design places emphasis on the circular economy and environmental benefit. The project preserves the exisiting structures with minimal, targeted demolition, and is extended with FSC certified timber.

This project tackles the difficulties faced by people all over the UK, especially in Chatham.

The proposal intergrates the use of exercise to redirect young peoples energy, rather than them becoming disruptive, within the local area. It gives an opportunity to learn a new skill, whether it’s the repair of rowing boats or the performance needed to compete in competitions.

It allows a new sport, that would otherwise be difficult to fund, to be accessible to everyone, while utilising the access to the waterfront.

INTRA HIGH

Intra High is all about creating a venue where the community can participate in a variety of activities, from art shops to basketball games, all in one location. Ak Studios accepted this assignment in order to produce something that will bring the community together through activities. The indoor facilities and activities include a rock climbing wall, art workshops, a café, PC labs, a multi-story gallery, and a sports hall that opens out to the riverfront science playground where laws of physics are taught through play.

Along with the Intra High, we took on the task of redesigning the walk from the street to the sun pier and the path along the river, as well as the sun pier itself, which needed some attention in order to encourage locals and visitors to get more involved with the river and the beautiful view that Chatham Intra has to offer.

Chatham Vertical Farmstead is a community urban farm proposal that takes root and grows from within the fabric of an exististing retail warehouse.

The farmstead provides not only food to support local businesses, but facilitates a place for the community to form new connections.
