This contemporary building sits within the Grade 1 listed courtyard space of Pitzhanger’s original Georgian lodge and has been designed and built by a project team led by Jo Townshend Architects (JTA), which combines cutting-edge digital technology and sustainable practices.

The new space has been inspired by many of Pitzhanger’s extraordinary features designed by Sir John Soane including roof lanterns and the play of light, buildings within buildings and ceiling architecture, in addition to the use of innovative technologies, as Soane would have also employed during his time.

The new space provides Pitzhanger’s large and invaluable team of volunteers with a dedicated area to relax, socialise and access training and development activities. The space is also intended for local community and charity groups to meet, gather and connect.

The Pitzhanger Hub has essential meeting equipment including computers, projector and a board table and workspace for up to 16. To find out more about hiring the space, visit here or email private.hire@pitzhanger.org.uk.
