The concept for A Plot in Common was to create a space that would become a hub for local makers and creatives and to provide a testing ground for community building and design based projects. With their studio incorporated into the precinct, OneCollective led the design to convert a series of rural buildings into flexible spaces to host workshops, food based events and community gatherings and to create an extensive community ‘open’ garden that would become a ‘common’ for the local community. The focus was to take a ‘minimal intervention’ approach - giving the buildings a new life and contemporary use but at the same time making as little changes as possible to retain their original character.
