About

Don't Waste Buildings are pleased to collaborate with ReSpace to invite you on this unique tour.

Located in Silvertown in the Royal Docks, the Tate Institute holds a special place in the community. Originally built by Henry Tate for his sugar factory workers, it was a central hub until closing in the early 2000s.

After falling into disrepair, it is now being restored through an innovative plan that fosters opportunities for grassroots organisations, entrepreneurs, artists, and the wider community.

You will see firsthand how ReSpace is repurposing wasted materials and harnessing collective resources to restore the building. The guided tour will be led by Gee Sinha, founder of ReSpace, and Hugh McEwen, Co-Founder and Director of Office S&M. Together they will show you how the project mitigates social and economic disparities while lowering its environmental impact. Come and discover a collaborative approach that not only saves a cherished local memory but also paves the way for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
