Concept design for hybrid commercial/retail space
The start of a global pandemic changed the course of 2020 with the way we live, work and socialise outdoors. Businesses have also had to adjust the way they operate making it difficult to survive.
Two independent businesses, Clay studio and The watered garden a space for people to escape urban city life/working from home. Both have the aim to create a connection with people and the natural environment through live workshops, a hybrid retail space and elements of learning plant and pot care.
Located on Beck street near the City Centre, this will contribute to Nottingham’s aim to become a greener city with the inclusion of a small pocket park inspired rooftop space.
BUY. LEARN. EXPLORE
Hybrid space close to the centre of Nottingham to buy plant care and ceramic products, learn about the process of clay making/plant care and opportunity to explore and enjoy the space away from the busy city life.
WORKING AS A HYBRID
The key idea is to create a hybrid space between two businesses which can work together as one.
Individual spaces for current workshops and private services each business already provide. Space can cater up to 10 people
Area for small hybrid workshops that involve learning about plant care and what pots are suitable for the chosen plant
Retail area area for plants, pots and other ceramic pieces
Small garden, pocket park or open space for customer and local usage
Breaking down the space
Each space in the building was create for a purpose and take the user through the journey of each business, the collaborative approach and also being being to take in/escape into a different scene
