Studio Project - New center for Headscpace

Presentation Video

Description

This project design seeks to revitalize historical connections by embracing a more inclusive and open approach. It envisions a space that serves ​as a bridge for the youth (aged 15 to 24) to engage with the global community and as a serene haven for wellness getaways at HEADSPACE. ​Taking inspiration from the yarn spool rack, a significant relic of the original location, the design seamlessly blends the building's original brickwork ​and site layout, uniting elements from the past and present.

The final visualization portrays the building from the viewpoint of a passerby, intending for it to be visually captivating yet with a ​welcoming and all-encompassing ambiance. This transformation aims to resurrect the bond factory's essence, serving as a ​conduit for young Australians to connect with the broader world and as a therapeutic avenue for health retreats.
