10 Person Private Office in London | 414 Sq. Ft.

Description

As the focal point for the local community since 1894, Walworth Town Hall stands defiantly as one of London’s truly iconic civic buildings. After being ravaged by fire in 2013, Southwark Council launched a process to find a progressive development partner who could reinvent the property for the 21st century, as a dynamic cultural community and workspace hub. Facing down competition from 60 applicants, General Projects was determined, and consequently honoured, to be selected to bring creativity to this heart of South London.

This restorative spirit will be accompanied with the energetic, contemporary take of the project’s commercial drivers. The 50,000 sq ft Town Hall and adjoining Newington Library will be repurposed to house workspaces for independent creatives. The new central atrium will become the active soul of the building, providing ideal collision and collaboration space, while a new entrance at Walworth Square will provide a connection to our neighbours. A new healthy café and co-working space will anchor the building to its surroundings.
