Delighted to share highlights from our recent series on Sustainable Design for Home and Community, a collaboration between GALLANT (Glasgow as a Living Lab Accelerating Novel Transformation)Â
+Â AdesignStorie
Over four workshops, we came together to explore practical, creative, and community-focused ways to make our homes and shared spaces more sustainable:
1. Sustainable Material Exploration đȘ”
We got hands-on with natural, reclaimed, and low-impact materialsâlike cork, bamboo, and compostable textilesâlearning how to design interiors that are healthier for people and the planet.
2. Community Co-Design Workshop đ„
Through collaborative exercises, we explored how sustainable choices can improve shared spaces, foster wellbeing, and strengthen a sense of ownership within our communities.
3. Green Mapping for Interiors đșïž
Participants picked up practical tools to assess home sustainability, map energy use and materials, and uncover opportunities for eco-friendly improvements.
4. Nature Mapping Walk & Creative Overlay đł
Our final workshop brought the series outdoors, inviting participants to connect directly with Glasgowâs natural environment. Together, we sketched and identified local trees and fungi, explored biomimicry as a tool for sustainable home design. This hands-on session tied together themes of sustainability, co-design, and biophilic design, rounding off the programme.
A huge thank you to everyone who joinedâyour curiosity, creativity, and energy made this series an absolute pleasure to host!
