House of Benjamin Coffee Part 2 Project 2025 Sarah Bradshaw University of Huddersfield | UK House of Benjamin Coffee is more than a factory; it is a regenerative framework for Jamaica’s future. Rooted in heritage, built on resilience, and shaped by people, the project reimagines how architecture can act as both storyteller and as a tool for change. Set within the mountainous terrain of rural Jamaica, it proposes a carbon-neutral coffee facility that blends traditional farming with future-facing infrastructure, providing employment, education, and environmental stability.The architecture embraces local specificity: a steel-to-concrete footing system that accommodates the steep terrain, while key structural elements use coffee-concrete, giving coffee waste a second life and reducing carbon footprint. The factory operates on renewable systems, whilst hydroponic cells ensure year-round production, and passive shading protects workers and produce alike.The scheme is deliberately unfinished: residents receive housing shells with basic shading and partitioning, which they can customise using locally reclaimed materials. In the face of climate events, the core structure remains resilient, allowing damaged facades to be rebuilt with ease, ensuring longevity and ownership.Bridging valleys with cable car systems and shaded walkways, the masterplan fosters connection both physically and socially. House of Benjamin Coffee is not a brand that imposes but is one that grows, heals, and evolves with and through its people. Tutor(s) Nic Clear
