The project looks at how a London community could work together to remediate heavily contaminated soil through collective production. The project involved soil removal and the subsequent construction of a self-built building with two functions: mycelium remediation of contaminated soils and a mycelium studio for nearby residents. The construction spans five phases over approximately eight years, engaging families and strengthening bonds. The project’s significance lies in involving families to solve London’s soil pollution crisis through self-building.
Final model is explored through self-build components.
