Client: Spike Island
This commission involved working with the arts organisation Spike Island on their building in Bristol. Since its formation in the late 1990s, Spike Island has established itself as a significant national centre for the contemporary visual arts, combining artist studios, work, and exhibition spaces. The organisation is located in a former tea-packing factory at the Cumberland Basin, on the edge of Bristol’s Harbourside. It offers a total of seventy long-let studios and spaces for arts-related businesses, whose rent generates revenue for the activities of the trust.
