Lanc West Grows Best with Hubbub
We were privileged to design and build one of many interventions intended to support the neighbours of Grenfell Tower.
The work was commissioned by the amazing campaigning group Hubbub, who have also created a detailed report about the project here. We consulted with residents to co-design a range of elements for the more than 200 square metres of communal space. A primary feature was the polytunnel, which enables year-round growing and significant food harvests. Other highlights included a pond to support biodiversity and enable children to explore nature on their doorstep, as well as a fungi woodland zone.
