traditional construction
In 2003 The Environment Trust commissioned Urban Space Management to create a cost effective youth centre in Mile End Park, East London.
This youth center took only 1 day to construct the exterior! The structure is composed entirely of 7 used storage containers, set within a park, to create a single storey to provide an interesting and inviting space that blended in with the surrounding area.The result was a cost-effective solution to traditional construction.
Mile End Youth Centre has been considered the future of inexpensive construction for buildings such as this one.
