Sugarhouse Studios Pop-Up Cinema & Workshop Encourages Community Interaction in London Sugarhouse Studios-Assemble-London Legacy Corporation – Inhabitat – Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building

Sugar House Studios

Nestled in an almost abandoned industrial area near the heart of the London Olympics is a new community space dedicated to redevelopment. Sugarhouse Studios is part pop-up cinema, workshop space, cafe and pizzeria.

Assemble, an artist, designer and architect collaborative in London, converted an abandoned sign-writers workshop into this mixed-use building with aim of encouraging community engagement and developing new ways to redevelop the industrial area.

Using reclaimed and salvaged materials, Assemble, with aid from the London Legacy Development Corporation, has created a vibrant center where people can gather to discuss, learn and create.
