TALACRE SPORTS `REHABILITATION CENTRE AND CAFE

by Hannah Ali

To improve the community's physical and mental health following the consequences of COVID19, a Sports Rehabilitation Centre will be added to the existing Talacre Open Space and Leisure Centre. The idea derived from earlier chance operations work, as evidenced by the use of transparent materiality, organic shapes, colours, and the building's programme. The proposal includes a bridge building connected to the existing railway sitting directly on top of the existing sports and leisure centre. The café area is covered with existing sports nets from nearby sports and leisure centres, and the building is supported by a steel truss system.
