The Maelstrom Institute on the Isle of Sheppey unites climate research and community engagement, using weather-related data collection to communicate with the community through an architectural performance to educate and inspire resilience against climate change.
The town of Sheerness is a place both exposed to the accelerating effects of climate change and in need of social and economic revitalisation. With projections indicating that Sheppey may face significant flooding within the next century, the Institute stands as both a beacon of climate resilience and a catalyst for local engagement.

Goulston Street Rains is a rainwater treatment plant and experiential bathhouse.
Driven by the theme of transformative technologies, the project explores the role of sanitation both from a historical perspective with respect to the bathhouse that once stood on the site as well as looking to the future where in 2030 rainwater will require treatment for human use due to contamination with PFAs or “forever chemicals”. The process of reverse osmosis the water goes through is parallelly experienced by the participant of the bathhouse, flowing through the various stages of filtration in each room until ultimately submerged in the final body of water. The structure simultaneously feeds and recycles water used by the neighbouring market, creating an integrated connection with the social and cultural context of the area.
