How we work with arts organisations

We help arts and cultural organisations turn an early ambition into a building that works for audiences, makers and the mission behind it. The Peckham Observatory turns the roof of a multi-storey car park into a public viewing platform for art, and our award-winning studios for Cockpit at Deptford give makers affordable space to work with a public way in.

We enjoy every stage, from the first "what if…" conversation through community engagement, feasibility and funding bids to planning and construction. Cultural clients often balance a tight budget and several stakeholders at once, usually at a pivotal moment for the organisation. We help hold those interests together, so the space you open does what you need it to do.

CAST is more than a building with studios behind closed doors; it’s a dynamic cultural and social space with a very active public programme. Cooke Fawcett helped to articulate that vision for the building and to shape the brief for its transformation from a redundant school. The project has unlocked the building’s potential to play multiple new roles in the creative life of the local community while at the same time working for our resident artists.
