COMMUNITY SERVICE

One of the biggest learnings from the pandemic has been the importance of community spirit. There’s plenty of this in London’s Fulham, with the opening of the Sands End Arts & Community Centre; a meeting place and a venue for creative expression. Designed by architecture studio Mae, it boasts an interior with an open-air feel, high-level windows, exposed beams and green-toned walls. What’s more, over 35 per cent of the structure is made from recycled materials, including bricks created from construction waste (mae.co.uk).
