Bryden Wood has been working with Great Western Studios for over ten years. Phase 1 of their building was completed in 2009, consisting of three storeys. Work is now complete on Phase 2 of the project, which provides an additional two floors. This has been constructed whilst the building has remained open for business and operational. Great Western Studios provides studio spaces for the creative industries to flourish. and is in Northern Notting Hill, where Paddington meets Maida Vale. The studios are an urban contrast nestled between the Grand Union Canal and the Westway, an elevated dual carriageway section of the A40 trunk road in west London. The building is made up of over 100 studios, some of which overlook the Grand Union Canal. Each workspace has communal access to the garden and courtyard. All studios run round a central atrium, that serves as a communal space. Towards the back of the building is the Gallery, which has housed many exhibitions by renowned artists and designers from all over the world including: Will Alsop, Darren Almond, Damien Hirst and Tom Dixon. Several companies are also based there including: Bethan Gray (Product Designer), Orlebar Brown (Fashion Designer) and Emily Young (Sculptor). The project was shortlisted for the AJRetrofit Awards 2018.
