The House Mill

My Final Major Project was located in The Mill House in Bromley by Bow, London. It is a Grade 1 listed 18th century Tidal Mill, which currently only serves the purpose of educational tours about the history of The Mill. As the largest working tidal mill in the UK, the owners wanted to invest £6,000,000 into rejuvenating this once disused tidal mill into a new space, which will attract more attention and prevent the Mill from further decay.  During my final major project I converted this Mill into a Plastic to Fabric manufacturing space, with various workshops and classroom for students and creatives from the local area and universities to come and create sustainable garments, along with learning about the importance of finding alternatives for our current finite material sources. As a designer in the 21st century, it is essential for all creatives to learn how to make more sustainable decisions, as all environmental issues begin with the point of design.
