I was chosen to work collaboratively on a live project with The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, alongside other students at Leeds Metropolitan University.
We produced full, comprehensive design schemes and professional design reports for the conversion of a Grade II listed watermill that currently sits on the site of the gallery. I undertook the conversion of the mill into an interactive music centre that encourages visitors to learn, experience, play, listen and perform music. The concept for the design was based on the internal workings and movement of the piano, and interaction between the musician and the instrument. The space offers an alternative learning environment to the classroom. My final design scheme is to be exhibited at The Hepworth Gallery as part of an exhibition.
