PECKHAM PACKAGING

by Harry Mellor

My project focuses on the production of food packaging grown from mycelium. These products will be utilized by takeaways and food vendors in Peckham for service to customers. The building complex comprises of a series of ‘pods’, each housing part of the process or public space. Each space has its own spatial and environmental requirements determined by the process allowing for size variation and different levels of public interaction. Glulam beams make up the structural and façade elements of the design, having no conventional walls or ceilings with large polycarbonate windows slotting between to allow for impressive views of Peckham.
