Potential Design Solutions



In addition to the facilities required for a scout group the brief calls for an inclusive facility to provide amenities for the community and to enhance to local area. Even with this additional accommodation the result could still be a relatively simple building.

Due to the strong community aspect to the brief the importance of the landscaping throughput the scheme is elevated.
