Airtightness
After many challenging but great experiences through the project which spanned from 2017 to 2021, many lessons were learned and especially the importance of Airtightness. So much so that they released a mini series about Airtightness.

“Our focus became much more on it being a hall for the community with hands-on ownership. We realised that this could be a project that was really inclusive – we’ve had children from primary school to community payback. We’ve had people in their 80s teaching people in their teens.”
