Refurbishment and remodelling of Gasworks Art Gallery

For more than 20 years, Gasworks Art Gallery and Studios provided facilities to scores of talented artists and in the process has played a unique role in the contemporary visual arts sector in south London. However, over this time it had succumbed to general wear and tear and was in need of a makeover and an update. 

The project was implemented to give the building a new lease of life which included the refurbishment and remodelling of existing facilities, to provide a new art gallery, new office space and additional accommodation.

Prior to the refurbishment work taking place, the existing layout of the building was confusing, with spaces that did not make the most of their potential.

The new Gasworks Art Gallery includes specialist lighting, a large glazed entrance on the ground floor, a foyer, exhibition spaces, artists’ kitchen, offices and access points for the lift and stairs. The second floor includes studios with a better use of space. All works were completed within the agreed contract period and cost.
