""The use of cork in architecture represents a shift toward biomaterials that are both high-performing and sensorially engaging, combining sustainability with durability.""
""Nina's House has been made to radiate warmth, curiosity, and intention, as it has been covered entirely in expanded cork panels.""
Nina's House, formerly a 1970s clergy house in Tottenham, London, has been transformed into an eco-friendly family residence featuring expanded cork panels. This innovative design by Nina+Co and ROAR Architects highlights the potential of cork as a sustainable, durable material, which enhances energy efficiency and reduces embodied carbon. The tactile quality of cork invites community interaction while promoting regenerative practices. This project marks a significant move towards conscious design, utilizing materials that serve both aesthetic and environmental purposes, ultimately aiming to inspire a shift in architectural practices toward greater sustainability.
