Nina's House, formerly a 1970s clergy house in Tottenham, London, has been transformed into an eco-friendly family residence featuring expanded cork panels. This innovative design by Nina+Co and ROAR Architects highlights the potential of cork as a sustainable, durable material, which enhances energy efficiency and reduces embodied carbon. The tactile quality of cork invites community interaction while promoting regenerative practices. This project marks a significant move towards conscious design, utilizing materials that serve both aesthetic and environmental purposes, ultimately aiming to inspire a shift in architectural practices toward greater sustainability.
"The use of cork in architecture represents a shift toward biomaterials that are both high-performing and sensorially engaging, combining sustainability with durability."
"Nina's House has been made to radiate warmth, curiosity, and intention, as it has been covered entirely in expanded cork panels."
