About Us

The Old Sub Station Makers is a growing community of craftspeople of various skills working alongside each other in a modernized open-plan workspace in North West London directly opposite to Harlesden station.

Designed to accommodate a mix of professional creative work in an environment that encourages imagination and productivity. We offer dedicated individual spaces in a coworking environment alongside other artists, designers and makers. There is a focused energy that the artists both create and benefit from.

We also provide a shared kitchen area and are in the process of setting up a dedicated space with a pull-down colorama where you can photograph your products.

The site also provides a space for loading and offloading for a car/van but there is no parking.

Testimonials

“The energy is contagious. People are serious about what they do and always working hard which makes the workspace a good place to concentrate and be productive. The friendly environment is unique, you can spark ideas from each other and get advice from your neighbours in other creative professions offering a different perspective which is nice and helpful.”

“Being an artist can sometimes be a little lonely, at The Old Sub Station there’s always someone around if you want a chat or to even make you a cup of tea when your too busy to stop.”

RICHARD POWELL

Rick Powell Design is a designer-maker practice in North West London producing bespoke furniture, products and interiors that blend technology and traditional craft. Whenever possible sustainable thinking is incorporated, with much of the practice using Computer Numeric Control (CNC) routing, which enables the design of precision furniture and components, while minimising waste material. The initial design stage of a project can take up much of the time but installation and assembly are often very quick and clean, so when a bespoke commission goes in, your home or workplace isn’t disturbed for long.

Services include:
CAD visualisations and technical construction drawings
Space planning
CNC cutting file production
Design and build
Finishing
Style consultation
