In 2013, Duggan Morris Architects were invited by Helical Plc to provide a vision for the long-term refurbishment of a Grade II listed, former Victorian wool storage warehouse in Whitechapel, to deliver a workspace with extra cultural activities. The scheme provides over 100,000ft2 of workspace, reception, art space, café, cycle stores and showers, as well as the relocation of the main entrance and an exhibition space for the Metropolitan University (CASS). The scheme seeks to explore and reveal the Grade II listed building’s history, whilst introducing carefully crafted interventions that breathe new life into the building.
