Group 11 GROUNDS OF HEALING (Posted 18 Mar 2026 12:22) – MSA LIVE 26

SESSION 2: SITE VISIT

Today we had our second meeting as a group, where we visited the site in Altrincham and were hosted by our collaborator Mark. During the morning, we were introduced to what the Counselling and Family Centre stands for and the values they promote. We were given a tour of the building, had the opportunity to meet some of the staff, and gained insight into what makes the space meaningful to those who use it.

Following this, we gathered in the community area, which is the focus of our design project, and discussed the needs of the collaborator and what he hopes to achieve from this redesign. As a group, we began to brainstorm ideas around how the space could be improved, considering aspects such as facilities, potential funding, and how the space could better support its users. We agreed to begin producing renders and plans that could be useful for Mark moving forward, as well as exploring the possibility of running workshops to engage with the community and better understand the different groups using the space.

After the meeting, we carried out initial site measurements to support our next steps. This visit marked an important shift in our project, as it provided us with a clearer direction and a stronger understanding of how to move forward as a team.
