This workshop helped me look at the materials first-hand and experiment with colour schemes and combinations I would have never thought of if I had not joined this experience.

Material and Processes

 

The core of sustainable development is crucial in any architectural endeavor, especially with the growing urgency in the fight against climate change. My refurbishment project for St. Dunstan is deeply rooted in this principle, aiming to significantly minimize the carbon footprint while enhancing ecological sustainability. The project embraces ecological preservation at its heart.

 

 

 

The chosen materials—primarily timber, stone, and concrete—are sourced primarily from the debris of recently demolished buildings in close proximity, ensuring a reduction in embodied carbon and supporting the circular economy. These materials are rigorously assessed and selected for their longevity and durability, contributing to the project's sustainable ethos.

 

 

 

Plantations within the church grounds play a dual role; they not only symbolize the rebirth of the space but also combat harmful gas emissions, markedly improving air quality. In every facet of the refurbishment, from material selection to the integration of greenery, the project stands as a beacon of sustainable transformation and responsible design.
