Head Of Operations: Pop Brixton, Peckham Levels & Hackney Bridge
Make Shift is a team of designers, entrepreneurs, architects and creatives; who are taking a new approach to the way we use space in cities.\ \We specialise in meanwhile space redevelopment projects, transforming underused urban space, into amazing places that inspire community, creativity and enterprise. Our aim is to empower local people and independent businesses to grow stronger, together.\ \All of our projects focus on providing the space and support that talented people need to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. We inspire and enable the people who use our spaces to invest in their community by providing their skills, time and energy to local causes.\\Our first project was Pop Brixton, an innovative shipping container village in the heart of Brixton, South London, that uses reclaimed materials to create a thriving community space that is now home to 55 independent businesses.\\We are now preparing to launch our second project, Peckham Levels, transforming seven levels of Peckham's multi-storey car park into more than 90,000 square foot of creative workspace, artists' studios, maker spaces, shared creative facilities, and community space for exhibitions, event and entertainment.\\There are a number of other Make Shift projects on the horizon, and we are always on the lookout for new opportunities to transform underused urban spaces into something truly exciting.
