Set in 2050 following successive years of austerity and the systematic underfunding of public services, the formation of a community-initiated Care-Collective aims to address challenges presented by an ageing population, widening wealth disparity and access to care services through a range of interventions, the occupation and expansion of an existing Social Club central to City Road, Sheffield.

The project is set over three key phases, across two adjacent sites, delivering alterations to the existing services of care, additions of new amenity and social provisions for the City Road Community. The holistic understanding of “care infrastructure” is addressed through the creation of cohesive and interconnected care environments which otherwise were separate, promoting the opportunity for community interactions and challenging the role of the Community Centre typology.
