Assemble turns former dairy warehouses into adaptable community hub

The architecture collective Assemble has repurposed two old dairy warehouses into a multifunctional community hub and church in east London’s Becontree Estate. This project brings together LifeLine Church and local charity Community Resources' scattered facilities on one adaptable site in Dagenham. The transformation underscores a growing trend of converting unused industrial spaces into dynamic community centers, promoting social cohesion and providing flexible spaces for various activities. This initiative not only revitalizes the area but also highlights innovative urban planning and sustainable development practices.
