Working together with The Collective, our design answers the high demand for affordable artistic space in the centre of London as well as addresses the needs of Peckham’s celebrated creative community. 

Carl Turner Architects’ proposal includes the provision of over 20,000 square foot of artist’s studios, maker workshops and co-working space for creative start-up businesses. Another 20,000 square foot is set aside for gallery, performance and multi-purpose event spaces that will be open to the public.

The studio has also suggested the inclusion of retail spaces for the creative community to be able to promote their work and space for independent traders from the local area. Over the coming months, the architecture firm will be developing their designs and working closely with the community.
