A renovation project to transform a rundown, worn-out building into a vibrant hive of activity.

Synopsis

The support group behind Helping Hands acquired the vacant community building at Millar’s Lane, Dundonald. The original premises comprised of disused spaces with a brief to convert the existing into a warm, relaxed, safe and welcoming facility. Spaces were reconfigured to meet the needs of the children - a high-tech sensory room, games room, counselling spaces, learning kitchen and a central assembly come dining space.

In the early stages of the project, we dedicated time to investigate state-of-the-art equipment that would fulfil the needs and operations the group required. Design consideration focuses on elements such as the finishes, patterns, and colours vital to achieving success within an ASD environment.
