Community Co-Design Consultation

Bristol Community Sauna
Rooted Works
2025

I led the co-design consultation for Bristol Community Sauna; this process was a community-led consultation process to engage with sauna visitors, St Anne’s House, volunteers, and the organisation to shape an inclusive, community-led vision for a new public sauna and multi-use space.

Community Co-Design Consultation

I led the co-design consultation for the Bristol Community Sauna project, coordinating engagement with local residents, volunteers, and the design team to shape the vision for a new community sauna and gathering space. My role involved planning and facilitating workshops, managing communication between stakeholders, and translating community feedback into clear design outcomes. I ensured the process remained inclusive, transparent, and deliverable, balancing creative ambition with project constraints. The consultation strengthened relationships between community members and the delivery team, resulting in a design that reflected shared values of wellbeing, accessibility, and sustainability.
