ABOUT

MAKE IT won the bid to take Barking's former local authority office building and convert it into a shared workspace hub that the community would actually love.

​The dominating 6 storey building was re-designed to house over 50 individual studios, open-plan hot desking, and dynamic event spaces including the wellness and photography studios.

The huge exterior was an opportunity to turn this drab structure into an iconic local monument. Global Street Art Agency designed and painted the huge circuit inspired mural to symobolise the growing connectivity taking place within the building and the local area.

Re-designed and refurbished, the MAKE IT building has become a dynamic hub for creatives and entrepreneurs within the rapidly changing East London neighbourhood and commuinity.
