The design embraces the building’s raw aesthetic, using its robust structure and industrial heritage as the foundation for a series of contemporary interventions. Existing fabric has been retained and revealed, showing traces of the building’s former use to remain visible throughout. At ground level, non-structural walls have been removed to create a shared entrance, reception and workshop, encouraging interaction between tenants and establishing a strong sense of community.

Above, the former cellular office layout has been reconfigured into a diverse range of studios for creative businesses of varying sizes. Shared spaces are woven throughout the building, including a gallery and double-height makers space connected by a new feature window that encourages visibility between activities and disciplines. The project also included the development of a bespoke brand identity, drawing on the building’s distinctive profile and heritage to create a graphic language across signage, wayfinding and communications. These interventions transform a neglected industrial structure into a vibrant home for London’s creative community.
