Trellik Design Studio has transformed the office of One and a Half Studios, originally a nuts and bolts workshop, into a brightly lit co-working studio, maker’s workshop and cafe/events space for the creative community of East London. The space was retrofitted in the spirit of community engagement and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Driven to deliver a home away from home workplace, Trellik Design Studio has delivered a multi-purpose environment defined by natural materials elevated through the inclusion of colour in unexpected places. Generous desk spaces offer tenants a flexible environment, resulting in a studio home to photographers, animators, graphic designers, architects and a public relations studio.
Trellik Design Studio has defined an interior which contrasts recycled fabrics with pre-existing materials, creating a warm and welcoming environment with a contemporary, clean aesthetic whilst honouring a sense of the industrial past by restoring as many original features as possible. The studio also used the project as an opportunity to test the application of recycled materials such as acoustic PET felt panels made of waste plastic by ReFelt on the ceiling and walls. The application of felt helps dampen the sound throughout the open plan workspace, doubling as pin-up walls used by desk tenants.
