Our project aims to transform Withington Baths into a more comprehensive community facility that caters to the diverse needs of our community. We plan to repurpose the basement are to provide the community with unlimited potential for meeting rooms and a separate café/meeting area. We believe that this would provide a common gathering space for community members, promoting social interaction and communication for the local estate, students, children, the elderly, and every age group. Our goal is to create an inclusive, friendly, and vibrant community centre that reflects the needs and aspirations of our community. We are committed to working with residents to ensure that our plans are practical and sustainable. Join us in making Withington Baths a special place in everyone’s hearts and build a better future together!

Our project is located at the Withington Baths in Manchester and aims to transform it into a more comprehensive community facility to meet various needs. We plan to repurpose the basement to provide a shared gathering space for community members of all ages, promoting social interaction and communication.
Our design is capable of meeting the diverse needs and aspirations of the community by providing engaging spaces that offer unique visual and spatial experiences. Through promoting social interaction, communication, and a sense of belonging, our design enhances community cohesion, fosters personal growth and development of community members, and ultimately creates a better future for community members.
The basement of the Withington Baths is filled with a complex network of irregular passages or pathways, where it is difficult to find paths to existing walls and partitions, which inspired us. We plan to view the basement as a group of maze-like alleys and further design the space prototype based on it to provide a unique spatial experience for the community.
