Located between a pub and a shop, this narrow new-build infill presents an enigmatic and finely crafted storefront. Its bespoke weathered steel external skin responds to the eclectic brick architecture of the neighbourhood, whilst announcing the building’s function as neither retail nor residential. Its materiality hints at a world of creativity and artistry; it marks the presence of a type of craft that, although at risk of disappearing, is now more than ever central to our city’s cultural and economical well-being and as such deserves recognition.
