	Stratford Advice Arcade
	A Conversion of an existing two storey office and light industrial building built in 1955 in the centre of Stratford, East London, into an Advice Arcade for the London Borough of Newham. The building is a community-led and directed initiative which gathers a wide variety of advice agencies and information services under one roof. Shared facilities include public meeting rooms, exhibition space and a creche.
	A large number of differently sized rectangular offices and meeting rooms are fitted to the perimeter of the existing building, leaving a shared circulation space shaped by the varied width of the floor plate. The arcade space amplifies the irregularities of the building's form. The new services and partition walls are inserted with an abruptness that engages with the imprecision of the existing fabric.
	The Advice Arcade is partially funded by Stratford City Challenge. The project was designed in collaboration with the architect Mark Brearley.
