Synopsis

Intra_PLAY is a new leisure centre on Chatham Intra, utilising the structural frame of Anchorage House to support accomodation to support the mental and physical health of the local community. The project adopts the idea of Ikigai, the japanese concept translating to “a purpose to live”. The boxes are suspended in the frame, providing opportunities for engaging and meaningful activities while being transparent to people passing by along the flaneur path through the structure, which is wrapped in a polycarbonate cladding.
