Studios by application, exclusively for creatives. It’s a concept we’ve had in place since our inception in 2009, when we opened our first location, Netil House, as one of London’s first workspaces catering solely to innovators, trailblazers and established names in a range of creative disciplines.

We invite prospective residents to share their work, vision and process, giving our team an authentic sense of the practice behind the application, and enabling us to shape our spaces as destinations. Home to some of the most distinctive and forward-thinking practitioners across the country, alongside industry-defining hospitality, wellness and retail, we invite people to apply not just to a studio space, but an ecosystem where work and lifestyle collide. 

Our application review is thoughtful rather than formulaic, not led by sector or scale. Instead, we look for a genuine appetite to be part of a wider cultural ecosystem. The intention is to create the right blend of businesses and practices, ensuring each building holds a community that is as ambitious as it is aspirational.

We also appreciate how busy creatives are. So rather than asking everyone to submit a lengthy proposal, we ask to see examples of your brand or portfolio and have a conversation with our Curation Team about how our spaces might be able to work for you.

Our Curation Process

Because we are lucky to receive applications from a wide range of creatives, curation sits at the core of Eat Work Art. We’re able to curate the communities within our buildings, which contributes to the diverse, holistic nature of our spaces and encourages genuine collaboration between neighbours. The curation process ensures that each resident contributes to an environment that feels purposeful, inspiring and alive with creative possibility.

We work with a clear framework. These four principles guide how we curate, allowing us to nurture communities that reflect the depth and diversity of contemporary creative culture.
