HOPE PARK

EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY - MAJOR PROJECT

MAY 2026

Hope Park is a satirical design project imagining a fictional residential development built on Edinburgh's Meadows in response to the housing crisis.

Through branding, governance systems and artefacts, the project explores how design can shape ideas of belonging and exclusivity, but more importantly, who urban spaces are really built for.

To test the project’s impact, the designs were activated on-site at the Meadows, engaging with the local community to discuss all things housing.

To take the project out of the studio and into the real world, I created a letter to hand out to Edinburgh Residents. It explains the why behind the project.
