Workspace has designed and developed a new shared office space named ‘The Pill Box’ in Bethnal Green, London from a modified pharmaceutical building.
Start-up focused office space provider Workspace Group has announced the opening of its latest site in Bethnal Green, set to provide 112 creative and digital businesses with space in order to collaborate and grow. Entitled The Pill Box, the site is a £9m redevelopment of the former Allen & Hanbury pharmaceutical factory, and will contain many of the building’s original features including lab tile floors and brick columns with new additions including energy-efficient windows and a natural ventilation system. The building will contain several areas designed to encourage collaboration amongst its tenants, including an apothecary-themed shared working space on the ground floor, a communal roof terrace and a café/restaurant.
