Y3S2- ACCUSTOM HOUSE Community and Immigration Centre Gravesend
The existing outbuildings are retrofitted and connected by a structural system to create spaces for living, leisure, education, work and social interaction. The architecture draws from local vernacular archetypes such as the Oast house and cruck frame, weaving foreign and local communities into a synergic scheme. The Kentish Oast house is reinterpreted as heat distrubution system, acting as a pottery kiln, kitchen oven, hop kiln and heat source for the building.
