The youth club inside the Sandnes Kommune building needed a new look and a functional room for the students to meet and develop their leisure time activities.

We included the users in the design process and organized several workshops corresponding to their curriculum, collaborating also with three students of the Rogaland Art School who would lead the future users to find a good solution for their common space.

Our proposal was to build a furniture element which would offer multiple

programmatic opportunities, including games. The students participated by building their proposals in physical models. The whole room was also fitted out, the ceiling was equipped with lights and a projector and walls and floors were covered with “functional” fabrics, with acoustic absorption properties.

Externally, we included a painted intervention on the building’s facade, refreshing the exterior appearance while aslo encouraging people to look at the new space.
