SYNTHETIC HOUSE

Violetta Morris is a polyester fabric collectologist. Her house is made of a grid timber structure that holds glass and polyester fabrics as insulation and partitions. It is located along the Jericho canal, Combe Road in Oxford.

It is a living space and workshop. In the entrance of the building there is a polyester fabric clothing bank used by the public. A pulley system is used to pull the clothing up from the clothing bank on to the first floor of her workspace. In her workspace/studio she uses the fabrics and goes on to do her own polyester fabric recycling process using machinery and make yarn as the end product .

STORING

On the upper the spaces where the machinery are located, the flooring tilt downwards to the main corridor, for fabric lint to be collected more efficiently. The lint is also used as insulation

The excess timber grid structure is used for shading and Violetta’s vertical gardening. The plants pots are suspended by a grid in between the timber structure. Her growing plants attract birds and insects, thus creating their own ecosystem

LINT COLLECTED INTO FLOORING
