New Work – The Digbeth Design Workshop

31 Jul New Work – The Digbeth Design Workshop

In 2021 I produced a series of short films with the architect of the EH Smith Design Centre in Clerkenwell, East London. The films told the story of how the project came about, the thinking behind the choices and the potential for this innovative space.

Fast forward a few years and the Design Centre is inspiring designers and clients in ways no one imagined.

And so it’s no surprise that in their 101st year of business the Birmingham based firm is “building’ on the success of the London Design Centre, and in collaboration with  Howells (formely Glenn Howells Architects), EH Smith are preparing to showcase the opportunities for innovation and inspiration through sustainable materials via the Digbeth Design Workshop!
