Green-roofed Bin Stores

Commissioned by the London Borough of Southwark, these green-roofed bin stores immediately improved the space at the front of this housing estate, by making a well-designed, and defined, point for collecting refuse.

Clad in tiles made from reclaimed, sliced, Victorian clay bricks (exposing the simple beauty and materiality of a commonplace building material).
150mm / 6” deep recessed growing roof trays give enough depth for numerous native wildflowers to colonise and sustain themselves.

The bin stores are delivered and lowered into position straight from the lorry, with no lengthy site work necessary.
