In conjunction with the larger local area development, we fitted out the new purpose-built community centre building for Poplar HARCA and EcoWorld London. Community members and stakeholders have had significant input on the new space at the heart of the Aberfeldy estate.

Working from shell and core, we have successfully transformed the space into a functional and visually appealing environment. Our scope of work included the installation of a lift and feature staircase, partitions and doors, furnishings and fittings along with new services and AV systems throughout and some minor exterior work.
The Cat B fit out was run following globally recognised BREAAM standards to ensure sustainable building design and is set to achieve a Very Good rating.

Engagement and development of the community were critical elements of the scheme. Communal areas include a coffee shop, workspaces, meeting rooms and a breakout area with a kitchenette for relaxed meetings.

As part of its efforts to provide individuals with personal development opportunities and inclusive services, there is a digital workshop equipped with IT and AV equipment and a nursery that can accommodate infants and toddlers. The space also provides functionality for larger gatherings with a choice of meeting rooms and an ample production space with a balcony that boasts a state-of-the-art light and sound system.
