This project is the exploration of Tyler Court, a unique somewhat narrow opening between two buildings. A space that also operates as a “short cut” facilitating through access from one street to another. This unique “gap” further demonstrates a diversity of spaces, textures, dimensions and perspectives in an area of London already packed with considerable difference.
The diversity of this space however is more closely associated with a relatively closed group of local users who use the space mainly in response to their work needs.
Given the need for personal space in Soho and the lack of it for those working in the area thought was given to how this space may be adapted to fit such a need. Principally this would be done by it being more closely considered for the personal need of this relatively closed group of people, who spend most of the working day in relatively close proximity of each other and of this space.
