Yuyo Artist Hub - Halifax, NS
Current Phase: Design Development (DP approved)
Centrally located in Halifax, the hub integrates a variety of functions, including artist studios, pubs, offices, institutions, and residential spaces, all designed to support the creative community.
The design prioritizes a human-centred and sustainable living environment, promoting collaboration and cultural exchange. To enhance construction efficiency, reduce costs, and provide flexibility in space adaptation, prefabricated wall panels and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) panels are utilized. These materials not only offer warmth and a tactile experience in interiors but also support environmental responsibility.
As a cultural and economic catalyst, the Artist Hub has the potential to attract partnerships from institutions and support from municipal bodies. This can enhance its financial viability and positive impact on the community by addressing the evolving needs of artists and the local population, ultimately creating a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable urban space.
