College Central Saint Martins Course BA (Hons) Architecture Graduation year 2025 Growing Together: A River Tale of Baking, Making and Growing, From Soil to Table, From River to Community is a project that explores how the history of the Slipway, located on Eel Pie Island in Twickenham be celebrated. While fostering a relationship with the local elderly, youth and artists of the island to create a stronger community. This project explores circular living, where the art of baking baking/cooking, growing and brewing tea becomes a tool for social connection, ecological healing and intergenerational learning. This proposal introduces a community-led food space a bakery-restaurant, food garden, algae pavilion, and river-fed supper club where locals grow, cook, and eat side by side. Youths and elders come together in a space that is warm, adaptive, and honest to its island setting. The architecture is crafted from locally sourced clay and wood shingles, reusing parts of the existing brick structure, while new elements grow from Douglas fir and steel, layered with glass garden spaces and natural ventilation. A rain curtain, green roof, and river stream running through the building form a tactile, living infrastructure that celebrates biodiversity, collects rainwater, and keeps the community cool, hydrated, and connected. From soil to table, from river to home, this project asks: Can a building grow like a garden, feed like a kitchen, and connect like a story?
