The aim of the building is to purify
the area of Charlton through
the choice of material on the
external facade and the use of the
mulberry tree.
The building was set out to be
an iconic building that represents
Charlton and for it to become
a place of entertainment,
knowledge and small business
set up, especially targeted at
people within the fashion industry.
By doing this I will be bringing
back the undervalued heritage of
Charlton using the mulberry tree
as a primary focus.
I am designing a multi functional
building with a 24 hour use space
which will be the bar (this can
be hired out for event purposes)
and a rented workshop for
business incubation and young
entrepreneurs.
