About the project
“This building is subtly beautiful, complementing the local area perfectly and future proofed through its mixed use and flexible design.”
Created as a natural addition to The Department Store, The Studios is a highly sustainable development that supports local businesses by offering a Residency scheme for young entrepreneurs and a programme of events curated to share skills,
inspire creativity and expand local networks. The building replaces a series of derelict annex structures from the 1970s, taking inspiration from the robust Edwardian aesthetic of The Department Store with patterned brickwork and contemporary
faceted bay windows. A setback fourth floor creates generous external terraces, and is planted with a green roof to enhance biodiversity.
