The Remakery is a co-working space for local re-use and upcycling enterprises. By providing affordable workspace, access to material streams and business development support, the Remakery will offer a springboard for new and growing enterprises creating products and opportunities from waste. Its purpose is to mobilise Brixton's wasted resources and hidden skills: keeping valuable materials in circ
ulation, and cultivating skills of repair and making that have been undervalued in an economy that has overlooked resource constraints. The Remakery will also function as a catalyst for innovation, creating a collaborative environment in which to pilot inspiring and replicable approaches to re-use. The Remakery has secured a 15 year lease on a 1000 sq m disused garage block in north Brixton, and has been awarded £100,000 of capital funding through Lambeth Council's public voting project Your Choice (receiving over 3000 votes from local residents). Architecture for Humanity London, a built environment charity, worked closely with our Steering Group from March 2011 to 2013 to design the Remakery workspace following redevelopment of the site in 2012.
