Designed as the centrepiece of a new neighbourhood located on a former Ministry of Defense base in Bath, UK, the Mulberry Park Community Hub unites an elementary and nursery school, a café, a health clinic, a fitness studio, and a business entrepreneurship zone, along with a central outdoor square. Developed with input from the local community, the building is distinguished by its cantilevered forms that take inspiration from the Mulberry Harbours and its striking copper alloy cladding that is perforated with patterns derived from historic photographs of the harbours.
