Future Studios

Acme's commitment to providing high-quality, secure and affordable studio space, inevitably means demand for an Acme studio is very high. In 2008, Acme managed over 400 studios and was operating at 99.87% capacity.

In order to meet the demand from artists, we are continuously seeking new development opportunities to create permanent low-cost studio space. We have a number of projects in development and although these studios will not be available for a while, we are happy for artists to express an interest at this early stage. These projects include:

Childers Street, Deptford, SE8

30 studios will be created in our existing building as part of a redevelopment of the ground and first floor. Planning consent has still to be approved and the target completion date is September 2010.

High Street Stratford, Newham, E15

15 studios in a landmark listed building, Warton House, as part of a project involving 655 residential units, a 153 bedroom hotel and over 13,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. The target completion date for the studios is February 2012.

Lesney Matchbox Works, Homerton Road, E9

49 studios as part of a major scheme to provide retail, commercial and 209 residential units (40% affordable). Planning consent has been approved and the target completion date is July 2012.

Other developments

Acme is involved in discussions with developers and housing associations in several London boroughs.
