Silo: All that comes in remains

All that comes in remains is a garden built on Silo's zero-waste philosophy - a closed-loop system where outputs become inputs. The "there is no bin" approach to cooking is translated into soil, planting and materials.

Every element has a role. Plants are not only edible, but active participants in the system, improving soil health, supporting biodiversity and strengthening environmental resilience. Supported by Cure Leukaemia, the garden reflects the wider value of food: nourishment, ecology and time spent in nature.

From planting to construction, the garden operates as a continuous cycle. Materials are not discarded but reworked, including a pioneering, organic alternative to concrete made from recycled oyster shells, a byproduct of the restaurant industry. The design follows an edimental approach, where plants are both edible and ornamental. Productive crops sit alongside flowering herbs and vegetables, creating a space where food and beauty are inseparable.

The result is a garden that functions as much as it invites - a place to gather, cook and connect with food at its source.
