Developing a commercially viable retrofit for a building otherwise slated for demolition, Material Works Architecture created a cost-effective scheme for an unloved building and transformed it into a desirable contemporary workspace. Founded in 2018 by Dickon Hayward, following his lead role in workplace projects for Studio RHE including the Alphabeta Building in Shoreditch and the repositioning of East India Dock for Trilogy Property, Material Works Architecture seeks to further this work by exploring the relationship between changing work and lifestyle patterns.
