News on Convent Way

We are looking for young aspiring designers and makers (between 14-25 years of age) who live on Convent Way Estate in Hounslow and surrounding areas, to take part in our Designers & Makers competition week as part of the regenerations programme during October half term: 25th to 29th October, with a chance to win £450 and a work experience placement in a leading London Studio.

WHAT IS THE DESIGNERS & MAKERS WEEK?

During the week you will take part in a design competition to share your design ideas for a new community centre on Convent Way Estate. You will be given a brief and will develop your ideas over the week into a final design.

The winner will receive £450 and gain access to a one- or two-week work experience placement at Bell Phillips Architects, the designers who are working on the regeneration of Convent Way Estate currently.

WHAT WILL I GAIN?

You will gain the skills in how to take your ideas from concept through to a design development stage and then a final idea ready to pitch to a panel. We have brought together some of London’s leading creatives to offer this FREE skills programme and competition.
