Blackwood Street Bunker - IDEA 2023

Blackwood Street Bunker

Clare Cousins Architects

Hidden under a layer of custard-coloured render for several decades, the Brutalist materiality was revealed after eight weeks of painstaking labour chipping off the suffocating crust. Retaining the shell and reusing parts of the original fitout, the non-corporate environment evokes a sense of authenticity and capability, while generous shared zones endorse the collaborative nature of this joint tenancy project.
