ACCESS ALL AREAS

“It is where good people meet and where friendships old & new are formed over a drink, music & social shindigs” - The Carlton Club The Carlton Club is a long running social club that welcomes a diverse range of members and aims to improve the lives of their local community through the variety of activities available. From live music and art exhibitions to gardening and exercise classes, the club has something to offer for everyone. However, the club also has considerable accessibility issues, due to the age of the building, the different floor levels and the underutilised first floor. In collaboration with our student-led team, this project will explore potential design options for new community spaces on the first floor and disabled access solutions for the ground and first floors. We will be working closely with the members of The Carlton Club to gain feedback based on user opinions and experiences, which will help us to develop our design proposals into an output that can be used by the club for future contractor quotes and funding bids. Throughout the workshop, students will develop their skills in physical and digital model making, teamwork, iterative sketching, Adobe softwares, as well as client presentations and planning application drawings. Join us in accessing all areas of The Carlton Club!
