This project is to create a fabric-making centre that harnesses rainwater for dyeing yarns and handwoven textiles. The used dye water is filtered through a slow sand filtration system, echoing the site's historical function as a filter bed.

This project proposes a gin distillery with its own botanical garden, embracing the site's industrial past through its use as a filter bed. It also nods to Hackney's nightlife and local production spirit.

The Boat House on the River Lea is a place for rowers, coxes, coaches and anyone else who wishes to be involved in rowing. It is a place to gather, to train, rest and improve.

This project explores biomorphic design as a dialogue between architecture, structure, and environment. Inspired by native natural forms such as mushrooms and riverbank shells, the design evolved through an iterative and integrated process.

This project employs musharabiya in the context of brewing, a process requiring specific environmental condition so as not to spoil ingredients or end products. Its brewing function is taken from UK drinking culture and Hackney's industrial past.

This project proposes a spa as a response to the increased use of the River Lea for recreational swimming, despite concerns of water quality. Bridging the Lea and acting as a weir, the structure filters water and returns it to the river cleaned.

This project proposes a community centre with a green roof. This contributes to environmental sustainability as well as enhanching human interaction with nature. The building disappears below a green roof, becoming part of the landscape.

This project explores nature’s steady reclamation of the Filter Beds, where rust stands as a sign of the decay of man-made materials. Rust highlights human presence and the slow fading of industrial traces.

Suspended in the centre of the path, the oculus is obvious but not aggressive, much like weather conditions that contribute to your comfort. It invites you to stand beneath and look up, where only a transparent layer protects you from the elements.

This project explores the evolving relationship between humans and nature at a site once dominated by industrial use but now reclaimed by nature. The project investigates how human presence and nature can coexist and share this transformed space.
