The proposed facility aims to transform the existing experience of acquiring a wheelchair. With its gymnasium, custom fit studios, workshops and event space, the building is an innovative environment where people are moved to learn about themselves and their wheelchair. Engaging the contemporary sustainability discourse, the project strives to minimize energy use through passive and active design strategies.
Exploring social and technological innovation, modular wheelchairs are assembled on the large open workbench that transforms into a bar for the event space at night, engaging the community for an experience where everyone is comfortable and welcome.
