Tilt

The new Tilt office in London in Dalston Kingland (East London) is absolutely spectacular! Having a space in the Boot Strap Company building is special since it is one of the largest green roofs in the whole of Europe, creating 70% of its energy (and with a building full of artists and designers that is quite a lot of energy) needed! This roof, uses solar photo voltaic (PV) panels that are in the shape of roof tiles and they act as a protector for the actual roof below.

Haberdashery London, new friends made through the DBA, are the reason why we found this incredible space since they had an office party here last month. They are experience creators with a strong tie to art and very outside the box projects. They have worked for the likes of the Selfridges, Vodafone, and very large personal collectors. It is a very cool group!

In this office, we have a shared space and we are very interested in helping out with the roof top community garden and cafe (that will be opening later this summer). The garden was begun in garden bags back in early May and the space is overrun with veggies. Everyone is being asked to take them. The local community gets to receive as well. The goal being that this construction provides a lot of flexibility to the plants throughout the year. A brand called Hadopots does a great job of this concept.

The feeling of the space is very communal, open and creative with a lot of incredible talent. We are operating in London as ‘hub & spoke’ in order to maximize our potential resources and to do the best work possible. If you are a very creative and clever architect, designer, writer, thinker, chef, farmer, or just a generally amazing person, we would love to know you!

While, Boot Strap might not let us introduce a living wall into the space inside, I think that I might try this at my new house at BedZed. We move in this weekend and I have been thoroughly inspired by this years winner at the Chelsea Flower Show.
