The Hackney Pirates is an enterprising charity working to develop the literacy, confidence and perseverance of young people in Hackney, so that they achieve both in school and in the world beyond.
The aim for Binome was to create an environment to reflect this and encourage young pirates to feel creative and safe in an exciting yet homely space.
Vision for the Project: The Ship of Adventures
An essential part of creating a positive and attractive learning atmosphere is the physical environment, which we design to inspire a positive attitude to education, and a sense of excitement about learning. With the Ship of Adventures we've made a base for learning which is filled with fantasy, curiosity and excitement. The Ship contains two learning spaces, a shop/cafe selling books and the product made by the young people, and office areas for local educational charities.
Design Concept: The overarching design concept is to see the building itself as a Ship, with each of the four storeys representing one part of the ship: The Hull; the Main Deck; the Upper Deck and the Crow’s Nest. The theme through the space is of “Adventures in Learning” – through careful design and curation of the space, we hoped to promote an environment with the message that exploration and adventure can be found through books and learning.
