We worked on ideas with a building owner to revitalise an early century paper mill at the seaside in Margate.
We produced proposals for public facing interventions on Union Crescent and ways in which to retrofit the mill for contemporary public uses. Our proposal included south facing balconies, a rooftop pool, a basketball court, and a hill shaped dark room for the creative arts. Additionally, we designed super insulated exterior walls to lower energy bills during the cold months.
Inspired by the theatre of historic British Beach Resorts, we produced interactive artwork and exhibition installations on the streets as well as meanwhile, sociable spaces.
