JAGONARI ASIAN WOMEN’S CENTRE (1984 – 87)

Completed with GLC funding, this project started when research by a group of Asian women identified the lack of resources for them in East London. Originally based on the idea of using a single storey prefabricated building, the group worked with Matrix to create – and get funding for – their full ambitions. The result was a new, four storey main building with an enclosed courtyard and a two story creche building behind.
