The £6 million renovation project at 3 Mills Studios has successfully upgraded a series of historic buildings, creating 10,000 square feet of new workspaces while enhancing public access to and enjoyment of the site. Gort Scott, in collaboration with Freehaus, worked alongside the 3 Mills team and the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) to deliver a project that balances the adaptation of historic buildings with the needs of creative businesses. Located on the banks of the River Lea in Bromley-by-Bow, 3 Mills is a unique remnant of historic London and is the city’s oldest surviving industrial centre. The project involves the adaptive reuse of three key buildings: the locally listed Gin Still, the Grade II listed Custom House, and Rush House. The project revitalised disused or under-used, at-risk heritage buildings, transforming them into lettable spaces for creative enterprises, significantly improving their environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and economic viability.
