The 'Well Being Centre' in Chadderton is a brand new municipal building that contains a library, gym and swimming pool. These were the three 'themes' that I worked on to create designs that were integral to the surfaces of the reception area.

The main feature is the 16 metre long reception desk. The motifs were developed from photomontage images of trainers, swimming goggles and books. These were transferred onto the front surface of the desk using marquetry, by Quentin Smith.

The floor design continues with the circular patterns. This is a text piece that was developed with a local writers group and uses prose to describe the experiences that are available within the centre.

The book designs are repeated on the 5m x 3m folding glass partition screen which is used to close of the library area of the building when the sports facilities are in use.

The Chadderton Well Being Centre was a LIFT project delivered by Community 1st Oldham, and designed by Bluesky Architects.
