Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare

Lewes, East Sussex

Proposals for a new Learning Centre, new Cafe and Shop for Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare.

Our proposals are centred on a need to provide new learning and educational facilities that will inspire and stimulate all those who visit. The aim is to celebrate the human/animal bond in a very clear and inclusive way. This has led us to design a series of welcoming, flexible and accessible spaces that can be used in a number of different ways and also allow for future expansion.

Our design focuses on both the internal facilities of the new building as well as our ideas for the external landscaping to provide a more holistic view of the visitor experience and site organisation as well as general way-finding from car park to the Learning Centre, cafe/shop and the rest of the attractions and facilities on site.
