Velo Bristol provides dynamic and innovative learning right in the heart of the city.
Velo is a newly formed company established in Bristol to provide dynamic and innovative learning for all. Co-DB worked with their small but experienced founding team to develop a strategic plan for their premises - a children’s nursery that also provides adult training and family wellbeing courses.
We looked at a number of ways to develop a newly built light industrial building into a flexible and beautiful space. As an industrial unit we felt it was important to connect it to the world of work, as well as green spaces in the city. This meant mapping out these spaces, and considering how Velo could access or partner with them. This approach considers the building not as an individual unit, but as part of the city’s web.
In our first stage of work we created and costed an initial scheme, helping build up the brief and supporting Velo's successful funding applications. We then worked together to develop the internal layout and a landscaping proposals using large and small scale models, graphic illustrations and a number of site visits and meetings with the client.
We produced full drawing sets and an in depth design and access statement, as well as working with a range of other specialists to deliver supplementary reports and strategies.
