Lyttelton 'makerspace'
During the early stages of 2020, I linked up with the Te Puna Auaha Trust in order to help them express their vision for a community tool library and makerspace in at 7 Norwich Quay, Lyttelton, Christchurch. We first began with discussions about what they would like to see and the purpose/goal of the space, as well as, a detailed site study. The site would be divided into three areas the tool library, interior and exterior workshop, and community garden. The site is heritage land so earthworks or any major construction was not allowed.
The resources that the trust had access to changed constantly, during the development of earlier concepts we had access to a total of two 20ft shipping containers which I positioned them facing North toward Lyttelton's main street both to maximise sunlight, shelter the space from strong southerly weather, and make the visible more visible from the main street.

The design process was based on the research into phenomenological qualities, I documented five unique phenomena experiences through photography, illustration, and first-person written documentation; each aspect was vital to contributing to the overall experience. For example, when interacting with a free-flowing stream, I recorded patterns of refracted light dancing along the bed as I dipped my hands into the water.
