A keystone building in Folkestone’s new Creative Quarter, The Workshop is the ultimate flexible workplace, and home to a rather fun and rapid flume. From a purely architectural perspective, it’s the façade that’ll catch the engineer’s eye. The only part retained, the façade was anchored as the rest of the building was demolished, and then held in the air as The Workshop was built around it. Beautifully restored, it sits as if floating in front of the undulating glass, its black colouring contrasting with the glass wall sitting alongside.
