Advanced Collaboration Project

This Design is a response to the Where people meet brief by the RSA. The where people meet brief is in partnership with The Rayne trust.

Zero is a student-first, substance-free community space that offers a positive alternative to the UK’s drinking culture. Designed as a local third space under student accommodation, it gives students a safe, welcoming place to socialise, relax, and create without pressure. With workshops, makerspace activities, a healthy café, and green space, Zero supports real connection, reduces loneliness, and promotes a healthier, more meaningful student life built on creativity and belonging.
