In collaboration with Sanchez Benton.
A project for a new building and Arrant Industries HQ in Whitstable which aims to maintain a flexibility of use - with the critical potential for residential occupation in future and the enabling economic justification that provides.
The extreme geometry of what is an unlikely site for a building – neither at the front nor the back - has driven a design brief which, sharing a common thread with other projects, aims to define the largest possible rational unprogrammed space and push explicit function to the periphery of both plan and section.
The project aims for delivery to be possible with a combination of relatively low self-build skills and the extreme high skill of key trusted collaborators and makers in the town.
