Pubs are built on stories, and we’ve got an amazing one to share. Introducing your new local: The Craft and Draft🍻 This vibrant community space has been brought to life by the talented First Hand Design team in the superSATELLITE  space in just 48 hours! The installation, predominantly crafted from re-imagined waste materials, serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the future of the pub and the vital role these community spaces play in the UK. Did you know Wandsworth Town is pivotal in pub history, housing the oldest brewing site still in operation? So there’s no better place to ignite the conversation about Pub 2.0. With around 50 pubs closing each month in the first half of 2024, the initiative was a response to the question: what does the pub of the future look like? How can they reinvent themselves to remain a cherished part of UK culture? Missed the opening event? Don’t worry—there’s so much more in store at our community pub, from creative workshops with New Acres residents to lively open evenings! A huge congratulations to the @first_hand_design team for making The Craft and Draft a reality, and to the brilliant project leaders Kevin Haley, Hannah Drakeford, Simon Hamilton, and Julio Alejandro Calanche González. Finally, a big thank you to the event sponsors Royal College of Art Yes Colours The White Hart Platform Places Simon Hamilton Amberth Altaura Jubelbeer Youngs Pubs Phil Creates Studio Studio Hugo Sebastian Vistry Group Curious to hear more? Come and be part of the conversation, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Creating space for authentic creativity and community stories to flourish is something we are so excited to see taking place here in our ground floor spaces. It is so amazing to hear experiences like that of Kristiāna Genca, we are equally eager to see the collaborations and magic that lies ahead!

How do you think the decline of local pubs is reshaping our social connections? With 50 pubs closing every month in the UK, we’re losing more than just places to drink—we’re losing key community spaces. How can we reimagine pubs to preserve their role as social anchors? On 18th October, First Hand Collective—comprised of Kevin Haley Studio , Hannah Drakeford , Simon Hamilton , and Julio Alejandro Calanche González —will host a hands-on workshop in Wandsworth. Together with 20 participants, we’ll design and build a pop-up pub inside the New Acres development, celebrating Wandsworth’s pub heritage while providing participants with valuable skills to grow their design careers. The pub will be more than just a build. It will serve as a platform for a series of events, exploring the future of pubs. We would love to collaborate with key voices, including breweries such as Sambrook's Brewery , Beavertown Brewery , Camden Town Brewery , Fuller's Brewery , Greene King , Meantime Brewing Company and other leaders who are passionate about pubs and the role they play in communities. Together, we can help ensure the legacy of these beloved social spaces. Interested? Let’s connect and explore how you can support the next generation of designers while contributing to a community-driven project focused on the future of pubs. Drop me a DM and let’s chat about how we can work together to preserve these essential social spaces.

FOUNDRY Wandsworth opened its doors today at New Acres. It marks the first major commercial opening and is a significant milestone in this project with the final residential just weeks away from handover. Co-working is a fantastic medium for building community and creating a successful commercial ecosystem; it will be integral to the success of the wider scheme and it couldn’t be in better hands than FOUNDRY's. A huge thanks to everyone involved in this project, it's by far the best one yet and each and every party involved has outdone themselves! In particular a shout out to Adam Walker, and the FOUNDRY team, Garry James, Hannah Mojica, Beth Pickard; Pamela D'Alessandro, and the Interaction team , Sam Perry, Georgia Salter-Randall, Ben Woodgate; the project managers 2110, Richard Taylor, Jas Bharj; and the home team, Denz Ibrahim, Alex Sangway, Nisha Kerai MRICS and Dan Batterton.

“In a world that is constantly under construction, we can only dream of bringing everything to rest. But in the meantime, we must learn to go along with things, allowing them to unfold under our care, not force them into submission.” — Tim Ingold As my residency time at super Satellite hosted by Royal College of Art at New Acres Development and my group exhibition at the NEX Wandsworth comes to an end, I'm proud to introduce 'Practice of Care' - a platform where my research and creative works approaching to built-environment discards will continue to develop. This series of ‘Practice of Care’ aims to reflect on the subtle yet profound relationships between humans and the materials we engage with. It is an inquiry into how we can foster a deeper respect for the matter that constructs our built environment, seeking unexpected beauty and serendipity in their new life. - Special Thanks to the programme, our curator Kevin Haley and all artists in residence - Ella N., Phoebe Mendel,Alexandra Ellerkamp,Naixin Shi

Community moments from the wasteCOLLECTION exhibition private view at superSATELLITE in The NEX! Over the past six months, RCA alumni have been exploring sustainable design possibilities, transforming construction waste from the New Acres development into stunning installations, objects, and artworks. It was inspiring to see new life given to overlooked materials, challenging traditional perceptions of waste. Wonderfully curated by Kevin Haley the exhibition was full of inspiration. From beautiful candle holders to striking coffee tables, the works on display showcased innovative material techniques that encourage more sustainable and circular design practices. The evening was a true celebration, bringing Wandsworth’s creative community to life in superSATELLITE and we are so excited for more evenings like this to come! The exhibition is open to the public for the whole of September so why not pop down and be inspired or bring a friend make a day of it and stop for a coffee and light bite 404 cafe.
