In my design I wished to bring together communities.
Internally the two buildings are singular open spaces to nurture social interaction, there are multiple areas to sit and relax, areas for kids to play. There is a communal workshop area: kitchens and adaptable work benches, catering to all kinds of users. The kitchens contribute to the Bakery on the level above it providing income for the Community. Ramps allow for easy access for the elderly and disabled people helping to address social issues such as loneliness. The triangular module leads people through the building.

This design is centered around the local area’s connection to the historical railway line, with the roof structure echoing the former Caledonian engine shed which stood where the houses of Polmuir Gardens now stand. It was also important for the layout to have a balanced sense of space – one which creates both an open sense of relief from the city with a cosy sense of enclosure. The rooms within the buildings take inspiration from the design of a Maggie’s centre, emphasising the sense of warmth, familiarity and friendliness.

INVERTERE - The incubator is closely linked to the folie, the users approach the collective areas of each Incubator through the individual cubic elements of the folie structure. The volumes are anchored to each to the folie and extends towards the immediate city’s neighbourhood's, by exploiting the transversal north/south connectivity. The form of the Incubator is strongly derived from both the site’s topography and the form of the folie through the tangible linear boundary of the Deeside way. The vertical and horizontal circulation combination varies through the function of each area and its relation to the north and south neighbourhood's.
