Deer Park Alpha

Southsea, UK: This July we put together three proposals for the Pyramids Centre in Southsea. Our first effort was to cover the broken glass with the largest community mural in Europe at a cost of £30,000 including design, production and installation. We made this proposal to the city council off our own back.

We then had a crack at a £3million refurbishment of the building with a developer. This included converting part of the building into a conference centre with fractional apartments. We proposed a screen and artistic glazing film to change the appearance of the later 1980’s building.

This refurbishment of the building was discarded as with the same developer we proposed a complete £30million redevelopment of the site. The redevelopment would have included a conference centre, salt water swimming pool, hotel, apartments and public beach.

We work with private companies, local authorities and public sector organisations to help them demystify what they do to their clients, customers and employees.

An example of this is our recent guidebook to urban design called ‘Where We Live’ which took the enormous subject of urban design and what makes good urban environments and made it accessible to all.

As a team of architects, artists, designers and faciliators, Deer Park Alpha focuses effort into areas that loosely fit within the Built Environment subject area.
