WeCanMake poses the idea of the UK becoming a nation of growers, producers, and makers using homegrown biomaterials and re-use materials to create good homes that store rather than emit carbon.
Founded in 2020 as a community response to the housing crisis, WeCanMake is rooted in the council-built estate of Knowle West, Bristol.
As a community land trust and regenerative design studio, they combine digital design and fabrication with natural building processes and materials to co-design and make with their community. This includes an in-house architecture and design team and a Neighbourhood Trade Crew who are trained in their design approach and how to apply it to practical build projects.
