Surrounding a huge plinth (which will house biogas element cookers), the kitchen sleepers offer a heat-resistant, fire-proof flooring. What’s more, each sleeper is separated from the next by a few centimetres to allow food scraps to fall through … and feed the Kesho chickens who wander under the building.
