Solomon Toby Alfred

Toby is a passionate designer that aims to create spaces that allow the user to question the meaning of space, either metaphorically or physically. Culture is what he is passionate about, as well as exploring how a community survives and thrives on the materials that are nearby. This conception truly intrigues him. Within culture (as a theme), he embraces the vernacular and the world of it. Toby yearns to understand the ways of the old before technology and scientific discoveries - when it was just man and nature co-existing to form a language. This [language] is still used today in some parts of the world where they are not privileged with the current tools and equipment.

Toby enjoys rendering and photorealism, he takes great pride in turning an idea into a visual substance. In addition, self-discovery is what he takes pride in, if you give him a little, he will run with it, whether it is an idea or software, Toby is familiar with design complexity.

Market Scene – As you walk into Peckham's Masquerade Arcade you will be met with a lively market that embraces people from all nation and tradition, just like Peckham. There is so much to witness, from live BBQ which entertains through music and rhythm to a market that sells your favourite plantain snack.

Culture Scene – Here lies the void between public and private and a diverse space that takes all who are young, free and expressive. This space serves to cater for those who want to create, learn and grow in all forms. You will see Mentors, Art Studio and a Study Studio. Your imagination can run wild - anything is possible.

Medium Space – From the culture scene, we rise up a level to a space that connects the private and the public. Primarily serving as an exhibition, the Medium Space can transform to cater to those who seek to support the community by introducing new services.

Cloud 9 – In an area, that is heavily urban, Cloud 9 interrupts and engages in a conversation where one questions the juxtaposition of space. Urban farming is the theme of this space where people get to learn about agriculture in two ways with and without soil, whilst also taking a break to embrace the sun for everything it has to offer.

Night-time Scene – At night, Peckham Masquerade Arcade lights up the night-time sky signalling to those far and wide, that the community are coming together for something special.
