This project uses its East London location to explore how the redevelopment and intensification of urban sites can draw on a historic mix of uses in imagining how we might hybridise work and living space in the future. The site’s current use is industrial but has canals, residential use and workplace in immediate proximity to it. The scheme opens up the existing floor plates with a carved out light well and enables a full range of light industrial to workplace uses, an ideal mix for knowledge and skills exchange, as well as creating new residential units
