Beulah Road Studios

The site is located within a conservation area in Walthamstow. BAT Studio’s design took cues from traditional glazed facades, such as those often found on Victorian pubs and local amenities, to differentiate this new creative workplace amongst the mostly residential Victorian brick surroundings.

The striking facade of the building is made of deep green and teal glazed bricks, following the rhythm of the former garages with a series of piers and windows. The bullnose brick detailing creates a soft edge to the building, delivering a contemporary feel to the building. Each brick was made meticulously by hand specifically for the project and fired in a traditional wood-fired kiln.
The larger of the 4 garages has been transformed into a bookbinders studio and a multipurpose space that will hold workshops, exhibitions and creative activities for the local community, with the remaining garages converted into shared artist studios.
