The client for this project clearly instructed our design team that they required a social eating space that also allowed for a residential space. Our design team however wanted to take this further and allow for an integrated social space that would in turn improve the flow and traffic of the public through the city centre of Coventry.
​
The project involved creating a housing establishment on a site established close to the motorway in Coventry. After primary and secondary research of the diverse population within Coventry and the food interest, it has. A focus on cultural eating was established and was used as a tool to bring people together in the atrium space where stalls are positioned, they can cook for each other and be involved within the process.
​
Creating a permeable open inviting social space was crucial to the success of the project which transferred in to the use of curved glass panels and a tensile fabric roof to promote fluidity that helped create bright and airy conditions for such social interactions to take place.
​
The rigid sections of the project such as the housing units required more privacy and subtle measures have been taken to ensure this such as the use of frosted glass, change of levels. These units involved the use of 3D printing as a structural tool which was a lot more efficient, reliable and a cheaper alternative than regular building procedure which ensured the project to be handed on time and lower than the anticipated budget.

OUR SERVICES
ADAPT studio. set the standards for architectural elements and modular adaptations of pre-existing structures. We work with you from design to installation to create the perfect solution for you providing quality bespoke solutions for any room in your home, forming a space that is truly yours.
Like our design and manufacturing of 3D printing processes, we are a diverse practice that promotes individuality and personalisation. We can adapt any designs to any of your rooms and our designers will work with you to provide individual solutions that are uniquely yours because everything will be made exclusively to fit your home. We will precisely check your room dimensions to ensure it fits giving you total piece of mind. Once you are happy with the design, our in-house CAD experts will produce technical drawings in detail for our production team to start the work. As we will then provide modern technology to get things done to the best standard and best price.
Our attitude towards the environment is one of the core ideas and drivers to the company. From our main projects to side projects, we focus on getting the most sustainable, local materials available for our 3D printed machines. We use materials from rubble sites that would be usually be wasted that is crushed then used to print in our machines. Our main projects focus on re-purpose and re-use of old pre-existing grids; we reduce the cost to transport and re-make new structural grids.
We utilise the most cutting-edge technology and to grow and change, develop and progress with the ever-growing and advancing technology. From our high-quality and full spec 3D printers to the process of using AR and drones in our big projects, technology plays a key factor and role on our firm and ethos. We have the most up to date, accurate, fast and best on the market printers of the time to ensure full quality and satisfaction to our clients.
Services
ADAPT studio. help clients see the potential of what they could do whilst balancing that against a realistic budget. They are organised and efficient, always meeting their deadlines and keeping clients informed of progress.
Development consultancy
We have first-hand experience of build costs, gross development values, profit margins, bank finance and all challenges associated with making projects work financially. We’re also highly experienced in small scale, back-land projects and urban sites that require a high level of design and planning policy expertise.
Concept Design
It’s our mission to transform your dream design and idea into outstanding designs. We do this by designing unique spaces that combine sustainable construction with powerful aesthetics. Our concept design brings your proposal to life, evolving from an abstract idea to a feasible project complete with construction specifications – and our innovative approach to architecture guarantees a design that’s not only achievable but extraordinary.
The logistics
We have a deep understanding of the technical disciplines involved with architecture. A commitment to the practical and financial aspects of every project helps our architects to deliver outstanding outcomes on time and on budget.
