1830s Drill Hall
Historic Bath Road building being reimagined as a community hub
CASE STUDY 02 / IN PROGRESS
Currently in progress: designing and building a vibrant, interactive web experience for Lymington & Pennington's new Maritime Futures Hub, uniting three generations around an 1830s Drill Hall, a Library of Things and a historic Dunkirk Little Ship.
THE CHALLENGE · IN PROGRESS
Reimagine is transforming Lymington's historic 1830s Drill Hall in Bath Road into a Maritime Futures Hub — a vibrant community space where retired boatbuilders, engineers and craftspeople share hands-on skills with young people aged 11 to 25, alongside a town-wide Library of Things and the restoration of the 1933 Dunkirk Little Ship RNLB Charles Cooper Henderson.
Currently in progress, we are designing and building an identity and interactive web experience that speaks equally to 14-year-old makers ("Teach your nan TikTok. She'll teach you dovetail joints.") and heritage grant funders backing the £1m Drill Hall campaign.

OUR APPROACH · IN PROGRESS
An active, collaborative build — from shaping a dual-audience brand direction to prototyping playful, game-like web interactions that invite the whole town in.
01
Mapping the four audiences — youth crew, skilled mentors, supporters and grant funders — alongside David Coppinger and the £1m Drill Hall fundraising roadmap.
02
Developing the 'Woven Town' visual direction and Home 3 interactive concepts that pair 1830s maritime heritage with tactile stickers, Polaroids and bold workshop energy.
03
Building and refining the interactive prototype — including the four-door path chooser, skills swap, digital sticker book, Library of Things filter and Dunkirk Little Ship scroll-comic.
04
Upcoming community testing, 60-second conversational crew sign-up, live campaign progress tracker and Siteglide CMS rollout ahead of the Drill Hall opening.
