The Triangle Site

Putting down roots

In Spring 2024 we will have access to our first permanent site. Unlike our other spaces, we have the opportunity to grow a 1,000 year vision. This new garden will go through a naming process with the local community, but for now its holding name refers to the site’s iconic shape.

Making the Triangle Site

We are committed to ensuring that the new garden will be co-created by the local community - something we have been championing for almost two decades. Starting with the Skip Garden in Kings Cross in 2009, we have developed expertise in co-designing and co-making our spaces together with local communities. Through this process we aim to instil a sense of ownership and leave a positive long-term legacy. 

Through a circular economy model, we will be using the build process as a learning tool, showcasing different ways of building sustainably, with the majority of materials being either natural or re-used, saving materials that would otherwise be construction waste. We are committed to creating the Triangle Site as collaboratively as possible and welcome any interested parties to get involved.

uPDATES FROM THE Triangle Site

We are pleased to announce that we have officially signed our 1000 year lease for our new permanent home in Kings Cross. We are thrilled and have already started work! 

We have recruited 4 young trainees who have started their paid training in heritage crafts and skills and the use of local natural materials, showcasing a different way of building in the face of the industrialisation of construction. 

The trainees started with training for cob walls provided by EBUKI, which also involved one of our Research Fellows - young people who have come through our education programmes who we have trained in Action Research to support our evaluation and creative documentation.  We are also working in partnership with an ecologist to measure the environmental impact that creating the garden will have, and a researcher from Tranquil City to support the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the traineeship programme. 

On site, we started running Twilight Building sessions from 5-7pm twice a month for members of the local community and employees working locally to get involved. The cob for the classroom walls has been delivered and the trainees and members of our specialist team have been working hard on the prototypes for the cob walls. Welfare facilities are in place and we have already had our first few Community Build Days on site!
