about us
"Architecture depends on... mess" Jeremy Till
By connecting the dots 'mesh' forms strong, inclusive, meaningful stories through collaboration.
Mesh Workshop is an adaptable multi-disciplinary collective working across architecture, design, art and local engagement. Our work aims to harness the positive power of community ambition. We use our connections and design tools to help identify and co-create the spaces, structures and plans that allow existing communities to connect and grow around shared ideas.
In 2015 Mesh was shortlisted for an RIBA constructing communities competition and in 2017 the practice won the London Planning Awards for best community project for its work on the Peckham Coal Line. Today our collective is part of Mayor of London’s Special Assistance Team engaging in a wide range of small and medium scale transformation projects around the capital.
