The studio is expanded and revamped from what was once an [office building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloisters-interiors) first built in the 60s. Cockpit wanted to have a permanent public presence to help with the overall residential development. The co-founder of the studio, Oliver Cooke speaks about the design process, sharing "The new [connection to the street](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stroud-green-housing-centre) is one of the most successful parts of the project. The building has been transformed from a previously unwelcoming inaccessible graffitied wall into a open generous series of spaces which encourage passersby to come in to the building, and hopefully feel curious about the activities housed within it."
