Similar to Hank I decided to construct internal non-load bearing walls with a degree of flexibility. Exposed studs allow users to fix various items directly to the frame whilst accessible services run through the void.
This non-precious approach to walls hopes to harbour user ownership with users actively encouraged to fix things to walls , add posters and even draw/paint on surfaces.

When deciding how to construct my interior walls I decided to incorporate a similar degree of flexibility . I hope this will encourage a sense of user ownership
