SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS + INTERIOR DESIGN .
Our most recent project, The Grain Store, a great fully sustainable concept and a great project to be working on! Located on the Doddington Hall estate in Lincolnshire, the landscape is beautiful and carefully looked after by the Birch family who are passionately invested in the area. Wilder Doddington was embarked on to benefit people and nature and start a journey reintroducing nature and plant life to the estate.
The Grain Stores concept has been built around sustainability and the ambition to educate guests on the plant and animal life that inhabit the surrounding landscape.
Materials we have introduced and explored include Recycled Glass, Recycled Plastics, Natural Clay, Mycelium - one of our favourites! Cork, Seastone, Denuo - a co-friendly material made from Coffee Grounds, Spent Grain, and Pomace. Recycled Paper and Organic Waste.
Some of the details we have created from this palette include :
Natural Clay - imprinted with dried foliage from the estate to create a beautiful wall finish. Due to the clay being rather delicate this will only be added where their is less traffic.
Recycled Glass - there are a lot of designs available when you start to explore different glass, our clients fell in love with Stone Villes Recycled Eco Glass which will be back lit and used as a stunning countertop to the 10 ft bar.
Mycelium - a great and developing material that we are totally in love with. Mycelium has wonderful acoustic benefits and remarkable sound absorption properties and a real focal point!
The Grain store is to open in October this year and we will be sharing photos and more details then… simply watch this space!
Something to think about …
Wildfarming and Regenerative Farming.
A brand is a lot more than just a logo and interior design, businesses need to evolve and consider not only their space but also their food offering, and the impact this will have on our ecosystem + health.
Regenerative farming is focused on the soil we use to make our flour. The way in which we currently grow our wheat is badly damaging our soil and therefore, we need to change.
Wildfarming is a method involved in sowing seeds directly into grass and planting different types together. Grazing animals are used and never spoiling the soil with chemicals or heavy machinery. Ultimately this helps to produce more nutritious crops and helps the surrounding ecosystem.
