Charlie's Freewheels | Co-Design with Youth Cyan Station worked with youth cycling non-profit, Charlie's Freewheels, to design the interior of a new shop space at the ground level of a 40 storey condo in Regent Park. Through co-design & UX research with an engaged Youth Advisory Group (YAG), we built an architectural brief and a series of spatial concepts. The collaborative process revealed that the the new space was out of line with the organization's real needs. The decision was made to remain in and modify the existing space affordably. Sometimes building is not the best solution 😲!!! Image Description: 1. Photo of a bike with a child's hands touching the gears 2.
