My signature project aims to revitalise Ynys y Pandy slate mill in Snowdonia National Park, blending its historical significance with modern design. The goal is to create a space that respects the past while highlighting the area’s natural beauty, agricultural resilience, slate mining history, and Welsh cultural importance.
The design focuses on visitor engagement through accessible pathways, information hubs, and sculptures that tell the story of the mill and its surroundings. These features aim to educate visitors about local farming, slate mining evolution, and the Eisteddfod, ensuring a comprehensive view of Welsh heritage. The design incorporates multilevel access to accommodate the land’s natural contours, allowing exploration from different perspectives. Magnificent windows frame views of Snowdonia, creating a sensory experience that enhance visitors’ connection to the landscape and historical narrative.
