Stone Studios combines workspace for the creative industries with 120 loft apartments, set around a network of yards including a new route connecting Hackney Wick station with the Queen Elizabeth Park

In London, the pressure to provide new homes is displacing employment floorspace and pushing up commercial rents. Stone Studios resolves this dilemma through the creative integration of homes and working studios, including subsidised affordable workspace. 50,000sqft of studios for the creative industries have been integrated with 120 loft apartments in a set of five adjoining buildings within a network of yards and lanes. The development also delivers a new public route connecting Hackney Wick station with the Queen Elizabeth Park.
