Charlton Workstack has been named in The Guardian’s Best Architecture of 2023!
Oliver Wainwright, The Guardian’s Architecture and Design critic, has named Charlton Workstack amongst the top five best structures worldwide in 2023:
“As space for manufacturing is pushed ever further out of our cities, or obliterated altogether, dRMM’s ingenious project in Charlton, south-east London, shows how workshops and studios can be cleverly piled high on a tight site.
Built from cross-laminated timber, the structure steps out as it rises, providing bigger studios at the lighter upper levels, fitting more floor area on a small footprint, and creating a striking roadside beacon – trumpeting that manufacturing is here to stay.
Housing furniture-makers, clothing producers and an electric bike workshop, it proves to developers that a “mixed use” development can mean more than coffee shops and yoga studios.”
B&K Structures were proud to deliver the structural frame for Charlton Workstack, including the cross laminated timber wall and floor slabs and structural steelwork podiums.
Well done to all involved.
