We design architecture for all: inclusive, barrier free and participatory


I have always been interested in left over spaces in buildings: I have seen children delighting in using these spaces. Having a ramp meandering its way around a two story house, there are lots of left over spaces created. Some of these we are only becoming really aware of as the building progresses, despite having designed with models, which should have revealed them all, but the reality of this variety of people sized spaces is constantly surprising us. We designed so that every turn in the ramp would create its own unique pausing space: the reality of this, will only become clear once we use the space
