Re-purpose Mortlake Brewery What: We will recreate the building in the workshop, then redesign it. When: We will work on the project from 6th July - end of term Where: Mortlake Brewery. Why: To understand more about built environments How: To understand how to think like an architecture.
Brief In this project you will explore a disused industrial building and come up with interesting and creative ideas to convert it into a new space to live, work and play. The building is a former malt house that forms part of the Mortlake Brewery (Stag Brewery) site. It sits at the junction of Ship Lane and the Thames towpath. We will call it the Maltings Building. It was built in ca. 1902 and comprises an eight and nine storey building constructed on a rectangular footprint in London stock brick, parallel to the towpath and the River Thames. The interior of the building used to have very low floor heights due to the nature of the buildings use but these internal floors have since been removed on all upper storeys and the building retains no malting fixtures or equipment. The building forms an important local landmark and contributes to the significance of the adjacent Conservation Area.
