Adaptive Reuse · Wellbeing Interiors · Spatial Design
Challenge
The brief was to reimagine an existing building with a new purpose. I selected Longcross Court, an underused office building in Cardiff, exploring how interior design could transform it into a restorative space that supports wellbeing and social connection.
Goal
To transform Longcross Court into Relax & Recharge, a multi-sensory wellbeing hub combining immersive experiences, social spaces and private relaxation pods. The concept focused on biophilic design, thoughtful spatial planning and a seamless user journey.
Outcome
A comprehensive interior design concept featuring site analysis, user-journey mapping, technical drawings and immersive spatial designs. Through interactive lighting, acoustic materials and adaptable spaces, Relax & Recharge reimagines an underused building as a welcoming, wellbeing-focused destination.
