The Forge

Arts and Culture Commercial

Once part of Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s shipbuilding heritage, this Grade II Listed building in the Isle of Dogs is now the new home to the charity, Craft Central. We designed a contemporary free-standing two-storey birch structure to sit unobtrusively within the historic building fabric. As a result, craft professionals enjoy access to new and affordable self-contained studios, meeting rooms and an impressive double-height exhibition and event space.
