Pool Meadow / Studio MUTT

Pool Meadow is a refurbishment of a tired 1990s bus station, transforming it into a vibrant gateway to Coventry for UK City of Culture 2021 and beyond. The project is a unique hybrid of bus station, conservatory and art gallery, revitalising a once-unloved building in the city through low-cost, high-impact interventions to improve user experience and reduce operational energy. Site-specific artworks, theatrical lighting and generous planting animate key routes through the building, while functional upgrades to public facilities, services, retail units and wayfinding improve user comfort and accessibility.
