Earlier this month, Dezeen’s architecture reporter Amy Peacock caught up with architectural designer Alys Hargreaves from Cella Collective at Houghton Festival.
Cella Collective, in collaboration with Mitre & Mondays, unveiled a new monumental timber-and-thatch pavilion on the festival grounds. The structure was informed by Houghton Hall’s historic 1772 water tower and was constructed using sustainably harvested reed from Scottish RSPB reedbeds, highlighting how regenerative design can support biodiversity and traditional craft.
Peacock and Hargreaves also discuss why materiality matters, how design plays a part in the festival experience, and other must-see installations at this year’s Houghton Festival such as wooden thrones by Call Super.
