INNOVATION VILLAGE GULU
Formerly Smiling Panda, a defunct night club, this site was chosen for its potential to display a building’s ability to be adapted to new uses after its lifetime. As a Centre of Innovation in Northern Uganda, the space was designed for and with the creative youths. In a bid to encourage participatory design processes, Brownstridge collaborated with the art and crafts community in Gulu to execute a vibrant space with graphical walls, elaborate bespoke furniture and people centered spaces.
