A multifunctional space housed in a three-story brutalist building in Spitalfields with aesthetics that lean very much to Scandinavian design.
You will find an in-house bakery, lunchtime hangout and cafe, yoga studio, shared workspaces and members areas, meeting room, piano practice room and facilities for events and shoots.
Taking a hands-on approach with the design, and overseeing the daily running of the project, the duo foster a deep community spirit; one inspired by the back-to-basics DIY essence of the rural Norwegian island of Mariell’s formative years. Taking into mind the evolving notion of work, many creatives taking on multiple or fluid careers, occasional residencies will be offered, collaborative efforts encouraged and the Benk + Bo project evolving organically. Select artists will be invited to exhibit throughout the year.
