A grey concrete building in daylight

A run-down quayside warehouse turned into affordable workshops for makers, keeping almost every original wall.

The brief was simple and the budget was tight: as many workspaces as the building could hold, without losing what made it worth keeping.

We stripped the warehouse back to its frame, repaired rather than replaced, and inserted a new concrete core for stairs and services. The workshops open off a shared gallery that runs the length of the building, where tenants meet, sell and show their work.
