Recreational Centre

Mitchell's Plain Recreational Centre was for an Olympic Bid for 2020.

I decided to take existing Recreational Centres that has the potential to grow into amazing opportunities for others, and upgrade the buildings and supply them with building materials, sporting equipment, and basically re arrange what they already have and make it work in a structured manner, that could bring in an income every month.

I tried to make the building as safe as possible as it had a lot of access points for thugs to enter into the Centre. We then included this high 5m boundary wall all around the entire space, which was huge, but also made the space really safe for parents to leave there kids at, to participate in events.

I left Fencing infront so it never felt to much like a jail, although the boundary wall secured all access points from the outside. I utilised this wasted space by adding, an Olympic size pool, upgrading there ball and food court. I seperated spaces in a way that they could still communicate with eachother.

My aim for doing this project was so that we could see the effect that one of these upgrades has on the communities, and therefore move into more degraded areas and uplift there Recreational Centres. This benefit will not only create a better community but also create job opportunities for those around the area.
