Surrounding the idea of food poverty and waste in Edinburgh, The Biscuit Tin is a community centre including a supermarket and kitchen, designed in a way that helps to alleviate the stigma associated with poverty as well as food waste. The project involved in-depth research, including interviews, site visits, development of a briefing document and conservation report, as well as creating a unique design and construction details for a space that could be realised in Edinburgh.
