Vacancies: desk and workshop spaces available

Workplace Co-operative 115 is a purpose-built shared workspace providing a friendly environment for a diverse range of freelancers and small businesses in Kentish Town, north London. Currently there are 15 members engaged in a variety of 2- and 3-D making: animation, architecture, art, carpentry and joinery, design, filmmaking, graphics, podcasting and scriptwriting.

With vacancies having come up within the building, we are now looking for new people to join. We recognise the lack of diversity amongst the present group of occupants and are particularly keen to hear from people currently under-representated in making practices.

The spaces on offer are for desk-based work with one of the units having access to a shared ground-floor workshop set up mainly for woodwork and assembly, though other practices may be compatible.

Units are generously proportioned and shared with others. Affordable rents include bills, use of communal kitchen, 24-hour access and a central atrium/circulation space that doubles as an area for displays and exhibitions. Desk-space units are between £200–300 per month; desk-space plus workshop space is between £300–580 per month.

We take a co-operative approach to the running of the workplace, with responsibilities shared amongst members. Applicants are therefore expected to play an active role in the life of the co-op and have it as their main place of work.

Members work on their own projects but we actively encourage working collaborations between members.

More information, including the principles that underpin the co-op, can be found on our website.
