Cairns Street Apiary-Liverpool



Houses are due for demolition
Juxtapose the assumed worthlessness of the houses by creating uses for the back garden spaces
Spaces given to people who live in surrounding communities for their own choice of use
Modular systems provided to, perhaps cover a space, give it electricity or water...
A new street is formed along the tight passage between the gardens of opposite houses.
In the example above an apiary (bee keepers) has been set-up in the back garden.
The honey removed from the Bee Box, taken inside where it is processed into salable honey, while at the front door jars are collected, washed and re-labelled. The two processes meet in the middle and are boxed for transport or sold at a counter in the hallway.
The building becomes re-used as well as the garden.
Even Didgeridoo's are made under the stairs as the bee's wax is perfect for making the mouth pieces.

Poor quality images, sorry
