Collaborating with Friends of Birley Spa to develop an aspirational vision for the restoration of a grade II listed Victorian bathhouse and its grounds.
The Dell Project was a six week collaboration between the Live Project team, the Dell Steering Group and the wider community, to jointly develop a vision for the future of the Dell, an attractive but underutilised green space in the village of Grimethorpe.
Our Live Project brought together a vision for the district and city, which centers around a new green corridor and sustainable transport links, such as new walking and cycling routes, and larger modes of transport. The green corridor vision will allow for further aspires to create a vibrant place that empowers communities and brings forth positive change.
The Live Project Team worked closely with OpHouse, a collective established in 2020, to engage the local community and prospective residents in the transformation of a vacant care home in York into an affordable, tiny homes, co-housing development. The team hosted an exhibition during York Design Week to gain community insight and used research from this to produce three useful booklets to inform people about co-housing, propose future community facilities for the building and engage potential residents.
Our proposals look to create a community connection between the buildings and organisations through the enhanced facilities whilst aiding the aspirations and bids for both building’s futures.
Walkley Vision had three clients: Walkley Community Centre, Walkley Carnegie Library and the wider community. We were tasked with better connecting the various community assets, businesses and volunteers in the area as well as providing some organisation specific outcomes.
