Xiting Huang is a spatial designer who is not limited. She believes theory and practice are important and crucial ways to test and improve her abilities. She has practised and gained a strong sense of people, place, and space. She also realised her key interests in areas of furniture design, interior design and event planning. She will not stop exploring and learning in the future, and continue to design based on humanism and sustainable principles.
The design was located in Peckham Level for the space of Really Peckham Market. The Peckham area prefers to reuse buildings in Central Rye Lane than demolition and reconstruction which the sites will only last for about 10 years. In my design, I need to think about durable years and what can those furniture do when the site closes. Therefore, modular furniture that can be changed for different uses and moves easily becomes the first choice. Items of furniture are mainly made of wood and can be dismounted which can let furniture be reused or recycled simply.
Peckham’s main focus has always been on the reuse of buildings in Central Rye Lane, rather than demolition and reconstruction. Peckham Level is one of the buildings in those re-used projects. Its usage of the space will only last about 10 years so the material needs to be sustainable and used that long, which timber meets the requirement for the space with a small budget. Peckham is an area that focuses on local development and advocacy. They have lots of good development in creative, cultural and gastronomic business and arts incubator. In order to encourage people to visit and learn about the area, my space will be designed as a multifunctional space, which includes the market space, dining space and art/event space. This will be able to attract more visitors with different interests, building contacts and creating opportunities for local communities.
