Sustainable Adaptive Reuse of Skipping-Girl Vinegar Factory

Adrian Light's project involved the sustainable adaptive re-use of a disused vinegar factory, challenging traditional construction methods. The building, constructed in 1890, was transformed into a 4-storey structure, with the ground floor serving as an architecture studio and the three levels above as a family home. The project's construction phase involved a zero-waste policy, with all building materials collected onsite and sorted into recyclable categories.

The project's unique feature lies in its zero waste solution, where everything onsite was re-used, recycled, or repurposed. The vats from the vinegar factory were ingeniously repurposed as planters, workstations, toilets, laundry, and even a fishpond. Natural light floods the building, a result of removing a third of the roof to create a garden court.

Adrian Light's sustainable approach challenges the way buildings are traditionally constructed, promoting sustainability and environmental consciousness in the architectural industry.
