Jan Kattein Architects created a series of designs that reflected and celebrated the areas legacy of garment manufacture, a selection of patterns were collected from across the local community and re-interpreted across the 26 buildings.

With the theme inspired by the Bangladeshi kantha tradition of recycling old textiles to create something new, and in collaboration with Accent London we set to work. The project used just over 800 litres of paint and over 300 spray cans, taking just under six weeks to complete painting.

The Project was also featured on the Metro, The Daily Mail online and on ITV London news which you can see below
