Dance City

Dance City
ASA  Listed Building 2006 Dance City asked the design team to create an environment in the new building that would allow for ‘creative communication’ between its diverse users. Their existing building on Peel Lane lacked a central unifying focus, and appeared intimidating to first time users of its facilities. As the brief evolved it became paramount to address this key issue.
