For more than a century this prestigious site on the banks of the Thames in Hammersmith was home to the Manbré & Garton sugar refinery. Disused for many years the site recently has been rennovated, turning the main refinery building into a workspace fit for 21st century business while also honoring the architectural heritage of the original buildings. This rennovation process was itself a form of refinement and formed the cornerstone of my identity's concept.
