Sunset over Wimborne Road, Poole
Originally the site of a glassworks and later converted to a social Club the new building comprises a
new purpose-built social club, larger than the original, along with a five storey residential block
of 40 new flats. The club house has a distinctive curved wall on either side of the entrance facing
the busy Wimborne road where I used two of the sides most seen as a canvas for a tiled artwork.
Adjacent to this is an accommodation block with a front facing light well containing glass panels
showing greatly magnified images of the tiles themselves
The design concept combines Poole’s wonderful sunlight and aspect with wave forms and uses
colours developed alongside the company’s designers and some of the users of the club, which echo
the vivid palate of the contemporary Poole Pottery range. Poole Pottery were commissioned to make
a unique range of modulated coloured tiles to set into the Club House wall on a design inspired by
the setting sun.
The tiles and glass panels are a durable and unique addition to the building
