Coworking operator FOUNDRY has opened a new flexible workspace in London which has been created by Bath-based workplace design company Interaction to bring businesses together.

The coworking space, part of the flagship New Acres development in Wandsworth, includes a mix of private offices, dedicated desks and a boutique coworking lounge. New Acres is a new build-to-rent development that also includes more than 1,000 new homes, independent shops and hospitality businesses.

FOUNDRY’s new coworking space, its second in London, spans 14,000 sq ft over two floors and features a large, social breakout area on the mezzanine level which provides a focal point for FOUNDRY members.  A central courtyard offers a space for members to socialise.

It has been designed by Interaction to meet BREEAM excellent sustainable building certification, mirroring the standard set in the rest of the development. The new coworking space has achieved an energy performance certificate (EPC) rating of A.

All timber used is from sustainable sources that are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, while all materials and paint are free of volatile organic compounds which emit polluting gases.

Making the most of tall windows that flood the space with natural light, Interaction have included a double height gallery wall which includes limited edition screenprints by local London artists. As well as its new Wandsworth location, FOUNDRY also operates flexible workspaces in London’s Walthamstow and in Eastbourne and Poole.

Garry James, marketing lead at FOUNDRY, said:

“Interaction have been exceptional. They are detailed, dynamic, they’re great people. The end product is first class – we have people walk in every day and fall in love with the space.”

Pamela D’Alessandro, creative lead at Interaction, said:

“Foundry’s mission is to provide amazing coworking spaces that meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. So we’re excited to be working alongside a business that shares our mission to banish boring offices.

 “This stunning new facility in Wandsworth is more than just a place to work – it’s designed to drive connections between members and build a strong community of likeminded businesses.”
