Adaptation of an existing 1960s industrial block to create a unit for workspace and events and activate an under-used forecourt. The entrance stair was enlarged to create a more generous and welcoming entrance to the building and to incorporate an area for informal seating. A new entrance wall incorporates a wheelchair stairlift, adapting the building to contemporary accessibility standards. This wall was been clad with perforated anodised aluminium, creating a new signage element and animating the streetscape.
A ground floor warehouse unit was converted into a new 20,000 sq ft co-working and event space with full height glazing and a mezzanine.
