Residents testimonials

Vision Factory

Vision Factory

Vision Factory has stayed in Alma Yard as it’s a work place like no other in Plymouth. We wanted a studio space that not only reflects what we do as company within but also to be part of a great creative community.

James Edgar Studio

James Edgar Studio

Alma Yard is a hidden gem and the architects have paid particular attention to the small details and managed to keep its character. There’s nothing like it anywhere else in Plymouth. It is an inspiring place to work in and an impressive place for clients to visit. There is a lovely balance between how original features have been kept and how modern materials have been introduced. The whole yard has a very high spec and the staff are refreshingly responsive and always friendly. Real people, relationships and working together in a physical space are an essential part of how we generate and develop our ideas. Having our own creative environment we all enjoy spending time in brings the best out of all of us.
