The project is a winning scheme of a competition for a community centre organized by the local authority back in 2016. The scheme has been praised by the jury for its flexible multifunctional spatial arrangement allowing for a wide range of activities within the building and maximizing its space. The Community Centre Flint has been completed and opened in 2020.
The building is set back from the streets surrounding the site, allowing for creating a front entrance plaza linking the building with the town.
Careful consideration has been taken when choosing the cladding materials so there is a dialogue between the building and the surrounding parkland, allowing for the building to stand out.
The building is organized around its double-heigh central hall with all rooms and spaces opening to it. The ground floor is occupied by a multifunctional performance theatre with retractable seating for two hundred people and a small caffé area located near the entrance. The building also contains a dance studio, fitness studio, music and art classrooms, and conference room.
The form of the building is a simple cube, two storey high, with a flat roof. The building has a rectangular footprint of 26.5 x 34 meters. The mechanical and ventilation plant is cleverly sunken into the roof; hence the purity of the building's form is maintained. The first floor is pushed forward towards the front, creating an overhang and providing a canopy above the entrance and the caffé outside seating area.
The building is built using varied construction types, this includes traditional masonry construction strengthened by reinforced concrete frame. The roof is constructed of large span timber glulam beams with inserted rooflights providing daylight to some of the spaces.
It was important to emphasize the simplicity and honesty of the building in its form and throughout its inside. That is why it was decided from early on that the structure with its structural elements will be exposed and will contribute to the aesthetics and character of the building's interiors. The interior of the building is therefore simple and uncomplicated but elegant and contemporary, providing a mix of strong, durable natural materials and finishes like exposed concrete blocks on the walls, in situ cast concrete, brick, timber linings, timber roof structure, polished concrete floors.
The use of different cladding materials breaks the form of the building into two distinct elements. The first floor is predominantly cladded in prefabricated concrete panels. The ground floor is cladded in dark klinker tiles mosaic. A full-height glazing spans across the entrance. Above, the first-floor dance studio facing the entrance is covered with polycarbonate cladding set behind the vertical metal fins. This material provides lots of natural diffused light during the day for the dancers, but during the night it creates a spectacle of dancing shades to the passer-by.
