Alter Architects have revealed their first youth centre design planned for the existing site of Brighton Youth Centre in Brighton & Hove, United Kingdom. Brighton Youth Centre has a 100-year-old legacy on the current site. A new building will bring a state of art development providing accessible facilities to future generations of young people. The building will serve as a community youth centre and was designed to reflect the changing and complex position a youth centre has within the city. The program expands beyond youth services, providing spaces for cultural events, collective learning, counselling, wellbeing spaces and the layering of athletic facilities. Gaining pre-planning consent - construction is expected to begin in 2024, and the youth centre is scheduled to open to the public in 2025.
About

Realising potential in each property whether it be new build or refurbishment is investigated through a detailed process. Whilst we delivery many new build bespoke residences and housing schemes many of our projects have involved the reinvention and extension of period properties with transformative contemporary alterations.
