"Tracey Emin, a total British icon, began using her former Spitalfields studio in the early 2000s as a red-hot Young British Artist. Her move to Margate in 2016 raised questions about the future of the building."
"Chris Dyson Architects has won planning permission to transform the former creative hub into homes and commercial units, with the current owners planning to create residential units and workspace."
"'Why would you want to be somewhere you're not wanted? What I'm going to do now is move out of London. I don't have any choice on that ... There's places now in Britain that are desperate for artists.'"
"'The project took a few design iterations to progress successfully through planning,' said Chris Dyson, 'but plans can now unite the two buildings on this island site as one.'"
Tracey Emin, a prominent British artist, moved from her Spitalfields studio to Margate in 2016. Chris Dyson Architects received planning permission to convert her former studio into residential and commercial spaces. Emin's previous plans to link her studio with adjacent buildings were rejected by Tower Hamlets Council. She expressed a desire to relocate to areas in Britain that support artists. The current owners of the studio, who bought it in 2020, have commissioned new plans for the site, which will include residential units and workspace.
