Sara Lane Community Centre
A new creative and social hub for Hoxton: the ambition of my project was to rekindle some of what has been lost in recent years within Hackney’s creative community. The centre sits above SPACE’s existing Sara Lane studios, respecting the artists by maintaining their privacy whilst providing new interaction spaces such as teaching rooms and exhibition areas, along with an open-access workshop available to the artists and the community. An elevated public walkway extends the public realm, providing views to the unique private artist garden and the creation of a new ‘vertical garden’ under an ETFE canopy extended from the building.
