Formerly the retail outlet for a tile and stone company, this Victorian cottage, required an update to transform the premises into a shared space suited to creatives and tech businesses.

The project required a judicious edit inside to remove the showroom aspects of the fit-out and outside, to regain some kerb appeal and respond better to the street context.

Oversized plastered  columns were removed and the fascia tidy up with new signage. Inside, stone floors were kept but tiled walls were removed in an effort to quieten the space, both visually and acoustically. New colours and materials were chosen to complement the existing tones and where possible items were salvaged and re-purposed.
