Fish Island Village, a major mixed-use neighbourhood in east London, reached its final milestone today with the unveiling of workspaces managed by the social enterprise The Trampery, and the arrival of London’s first dedicated new campus for fashion, innovation, and sustainability. The project, for Peabody and The Hill Group, has been designed by Haworth Tompkins, Pitman Tozer Architects, Lyndon Goode Architects and Bureau de Change. It creates a permeable piece of city which draws on the area’s heritage as a site of industry and artistic production, combining homes and affordable studio spaces which support London’s creative community. Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, said: “London is at the heart of the global fashion industry, and I am proud that we have been able to help provide an affordable workspace that gives the new generation of designers a chance to flourish in a thriving hub of creativity. It is vital to support and encourage creative talent, and as a key part of our Creative Enterprise Zone and the Fashion District, I am looking forward to The Trampery driving innovation, as we build a fairer and more prosperous city for everyone.” Read more about the project here.
