East London scheme is a “UK first” says Stirling Prize-winning practice

Haworth Tompkins has completed a multi-storey development of light industrial units at Barking, in east London, in what the practice says is a first-of-its-kind in the UK.

The project, named “Industria”, contains space for 45 businesses over four floors at the scheme, which features two linear wings arranged on either side of three levels of 26m-wide service decks.

Industria was designed to provide space for a wide range of light industry, with units ranging from 20sq m to 450sq m. A 30m-diameter helical ramp gives vehicle assess to all floors. In total, the scheme delivers around 11,400sq m of floorspace.
