Revitalizing Deptford Creek: A Sustainable Bathhouse for Water Quality and Community Engagement

Project details

This project explores the potential of using the site at Deptford Creek, facing the River Thames, to improve water quality in the river while providing clean water to the creek. The design aims to create a sustainable environment for the area, focusing on both ecological and community benefits.

A key element of the project is the design of a Roman-inspired bathhouse, which harnesses the heat from machinery to avoid energy waste and promote sustainability. This bathhouse serves as a focal point for the local community, creating a space that is both functional and attractive, encouraging people to engage with the site while fostering a sense of local pride.

To support the sustainability goals, the design utilizes Ferrok, a strong and environmentally-friendly material that serves as a superior alternative to concrete. Ferrok is particularly beneficial for water-related projects due to its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for this waterfront development.

The project aims to create a harmonious, clean, and energy-efficient space that supports both the local ecosystem and community well-being, while offering a fresh perspective on sustainable urban development.
