The food hub fosters safe multi-generational interactions and strengthens Hanwell's culture of allotments, community gardens and orchards. The spaces in the food hub become a theatre, providing visitors with a cinematic experience and emphasising the sensory aspects of culinary experiences.

Three key aspects have shaped the project: the site's unique interpretation and contextual analysis, the social nature of the program and the commitment to environmentally conscious design. Considering Hanwell's strong sense of community, it is crucial to construct a facility that aligns with its identity and supports Ealing's aim to become a carbon-neutral borough and organisation by 2030.
