Last week, we were delighted to participate in a community engagement day hosted by the Chichester Community Development Trust. The event provided a valuable opportunity to share and discuss our initial concept designs for the much-loved Red Brick Pavilion in Priory Park.

Our bold proposals aim to conserve and restore this important local landmark by sensitively adapting the existing building and introducing a contemporary addition. This approach will allow the Pavilion to better serve the needs of the community by offering enhanced, modern facilities designed to meet the local needs.

The engagement day sparked insightful conversations and meaningful feedback on our early ideas. When working on community-focused projects, we understand the importance of truly listening to those who use the space. Their voices shape our understanding and help us craft richer, more responsive design solutions.

It has been a pleasure working with the Chichester Community Development Trust. Their vision – to foster connection, opportunity, and cohesion by creating inspiring to bring the community together – resonates deeply with our own ethos. Our design practice is grounded in six core principles: To Imagine, To Listen, To Reflect, To Understand, To Act, and To Realise.
