BRIEF: Convert the Waterloo Fire Station (Waterloo Rd, London SE1 8SB) into the B.S.L.Community Headquarters where all employees are fluent in BSL and Braille. The purpose of this space is to facilitate the social experience of those affected by loss of senses: deaf, hard hearing, or use BSL to communicate/ Aphesia disorder (being comfortable interacting with other people). SCHEME: Situated on the three lower floors of the Fire Station in Waterloo, the scheme uses soundproofed and sustainable materials to help block all the vibrations from the outside (traffic, houses) that could be painful for those that use hearing aids (10/20% deaf). Different spaces are connected by floating/ detailed walnut and gold steel panels, creating a homely/ safe design.
