Our final project of the Diploma is to convert a 19th century Hansom Cab garage into a space of our choice. I have decided to create a ceramics studio and one bedroom flat. The building that we are working with is across the road from our school, but the entire street is made up of these former garages. It makes it a unique place in London as the street is privately owned and filled with semi-industrial companies mixed in with bars, cafes, offices, and our school. We visited three different offices, all of which used the space in very different ways - and I've also found a photo of the garage during the hay-day of Hansom Cab's in London.
