It was an absolute pleasure to work on the Department in Ryde, collaborating with an incredible team of designers, artists, and specialists to bring this remarkable building back to life.
Once a disused listed department store, the building has been transformed into a permanent home for carnival arts and a vibrant cultural hub for the Isle of Wight. A project like this is never the work of one team alone, and we’re incredibly proud to have worked alongside so many talented people throughout the journey!
Here are some of the people and companies who made it all possible👇🏻
Shademakers UK
ERMC Limited
Turner.Works
Isle of Wight Council
