A living urban landscape and incubator space are launching Ilford town centre as a cultural destination at London's north-eastern fringe.

The Spark Lab takes up the ground floor of a vacant department store to provide incubation space for cultural organisations and local businesses with a public purpose wanting to trial a high street presence. Modular furniture, lighting and adaptable displays can be deployed in multiple configurations to suit a range of uses.

Wilderness Street is the title of a temporary living urban landscape that has been installed in the town center, adjacent to the Lab. We identified Oakfield Road as a key artery that binds together Ilford’s most important cultural venues and the high street.

The project was fabricated in London and by Londoners.

Vote for this project in the ‘People’s Choice Award’. The voting deadline is 1 November 2022.
