A disused brickworks turned into eighteen workshops for people who make things.
We took out almost nothing. The kiln hall keeps its roof and its soot; new timber boxes stand inside it like furniture and can be moved when a tenant grows. One gate size fits a van, a pallet and a finished table.
We visit every finished building after the first winter and again after two years, and we publish what we would do differently.
