Private Hire possibilities at Design District London 💭 Last week, we welcomed innovative brands Compound Footwear and Esses to host an exclusive pop-up event at Design District. The moment showcased cutting-edge fashion, eco-conscious design and the thrilling culture of motorsport, all against the striking backdrop of Building D4.    Created by renowned architects #BarozziVeiga – also known for their redesign of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Aesop store in Barcelona – Building D4 has a powerful, polished aluminium facade, commanding a prominent presence across the District.    Timed with the opening of F1® 75 Live at The O2, #Formula1 fans were welcomed to the event by Ayrton Senna’s 1983 Toleman F1 Car, located outside of Building D4, in the District’s Central Courtyard.     Attendees were also able to pre-order the highly anticipated Compound ‘Monte Carlo’ sneaker, crafted from re-purposed motorsport tyres – combining sustainability with luxury design and comfort.    Following the showcase, guests enjoyed complimentary drinks from JUBEL and #MostWantedWine, while soaking in the vibrant Design District atmosphere with live music, from artist & music producer Ed Graves, DJ and drummer Derrick McKenzie from #Jamiroquai, and DJs from Baked Sessions.     Looking for a venue to host your next pop-up?

Earlier this month we were proud to host the Design Council Homes Taskforce, which convened experts from across the built-environment to tackle the challenge of delivering 1.5 million homes within the UK's climate commitments.

This autumn, the Design Council Homes Taskforce has convened a wide group of built-environment experts to help Government solve the design challenge of delivering 1.5million homes whilst limiting global within the Government’s legal climate commitments. Early in November, we visited Greenwich Millennium Village with members of the Design Council Homes Taskforce to host a roundtable discussion on sustainable urban extensions. We were joined by experts in the design and delivery of new places including Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor for London for Housing, and Sowmya Parthasarathy and Nick Raynsford, both members of the Government’s new Towns Taskforce. Thank you to Design District London, London’s first and only purpose-built home for the full spectrum of creative industries, for hosting us. Last week we held a roundtable at Park Hill, Sheffield to consider the challenges and opportunities to enable successful regeneration and refurbishment projects. It was great to be joined by the Mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, and the leader of Sheffield Council, Tom Hunt as well as Mark Latham, Jonathan Faulkingham, Annalie Riches and David Bickle who have all contributed to the recent regeneration of the Park Hill Estate. Soon we’ll publish our findings, with the aim of setting a new design agenda for the new Government, focused on sustainability, quality and equity. #HomesTaskforce #DesignForPlanet #Sheffield #Greenwich #BuiltEnvironment
