Set within a vacant industrial building in Clerkenwell, HUT proposes an architectural language for sustainable urban extension which is rooted in lightness, craftsmanship and unexpected escape.

This installation investigates how engineered timber construction can transform complex urban spaces into immersive and calm environments. Enclosed by tall boundary walls, the existing site offers little natural outlook. Instead, the project identifies the sky itself as the site’s primary landscape. The architecture therefore becomes an instrument for framing the skyscape, filtering views, drawing daylight deep into the interior, and establishing a heightened awareness of atmosphere, weather and time.

Rather than treating sustainability as purely technical performance, we position environmental responsibility as experiential, allowing a connection to natural light, material authenticity, seasonal change and sensory wellbeing.

The installation acts simultaneously as prototype and proposition, a representative model for a reimagined and sustainable methodology for extensions within the city, inviting the audience to peer though and consider the future possibilities of this space.
