During early 2024 SPC was invited to refurbish networks at Bridget Riley, Britannia Works, Deborah House, Sara Lane and most recently Triangle studios, all previously maintained by Optimity.
Since then the studios at Eastway Laundry, Haymerle Road, Peabody Yard, Timber Wharf and Victor House have all been transferred over to Community Fibre FTTP, on much more favourable terms! We continue to also support and maintain [ SPACE ] Studios broadband access @ Brickfield, Martello Street, Redbridge Town Hall with 28 new studios in Enfield opening in April 2025.
Brickfield Road 32 studios are distributed over three floors. The BT fibre broadband termination and Edgerouter is installed in the main utility room A with annex at the far end of the building B. A POE switch in room A and B powers a cluster of UAP-AC Pro access points and Cloudkey.
Bridget Riley and Britannia Works are repurposed factory buildings on Dace Road in Hackney Wick. Each has a 100mb/s BT lease line fibre service set for update to FTTP Community Fibre 1gb/s and a string of legacy Ruckus wifi points offering 2.4 and 5*ghz access.
Deborah House is the third studio building owned and operated by [ SPACE ] Studios. We recently upgraded the to Community Fibre service and installed a set of 16 Ubiquiti UAP’s as upgrade of the legacy Ruckus access points.
Eastway Laundry is all on the groundfloor in Hackney Wick and shares a FTTP 1gb/s Community Fbre broadband over just three Ubiquiti UAP’s via a ER4 and ES8.
In April 2025 SPC will be equipping new studios in Enfield with access to Gb Fibre lease line broadband via wireless access points.
New studios in Enfield opened in May 2025 where we installed 12 Ruckus access points to serve the 4th Floor of this Attic self storage building. There is also a test DietPI server there on the rack for network monitoring and development.
[ SPACE ] Studios purchased Haymerle Road building in 2010 and the 3 floors were first fitted out for wireless access by SPC. We refreshed again in 2024 with Community fibre 1gb/s. There are 21 legacy Rukus APs, managed POE switch and locally hosted Digital Marker
Martello Street was one of the earliest in the network of artist spaces and most recent purchase. We first completed the wireless installation in October of 2014 with 12 monitored access points sharing broadband from Triangle over a 5ghz link. In 2022 improved on that with a broadband connection from 900mb/s G-Networks fibre service. The visiting artist residency house is also now connected.
At the picturesque Victorian Peabody Yard the 2 buildings with 12 studios sharing 1gb/s Community Fibre via ER3lite and ES8 switch over 6 UAP.
Redbridge Town Hall is in Ilford town centre where there are 60 studios over three floors and as well as the administration offices for the whole organisation and public gallery. SPC built a studio wide network out of tangle of town hall legacy ethernet reaching most rooms, connected to Virgin 100 mb/s fibre via 18 wireless access points.
- 4th floor : fibre backbone to basement, 24port and 8port POE GB switch.
- 3rd floor : fibre backbone to basement, 24port and 8port POE GB switch.
- Ground floor : fibre backbone to basement from office rack. 24port GB and 24port GB POE switches with another 24port and 8port switch for EDRF and 24port GB switch on ramp

Sara Lane studios occupy the ground and lower ground floor spaces of a local authority residential tower in Hoxton. SPC recently refurbished the legacy Ruckus AP‘s and supported installation of GB Community Fibre – FTTP.
Timber Wharf is in Haggerston by the canal with 7 railway arches and 8 housing association workspaces on two floors opposite. A replacement 1GB service from Community fibre was installed in 2025 and all 15 access points have been recently refreshed by SPC. We also installed a local co-ordination server on a refurbished Thinclient PC running DietPi.
Triangle studios in Mare Street is perhaps the most well known of the many studio buildings as it hosted a decade of public exhibitions and workshops whilst serving as the studios admin centre. It is set out over 3 floors of adjacent buildings with 25 Ruckus access points. The entire network was overhauled for FTTP 1gb/s from Community Fibre.
Victor House is just out of range from Triangle in Hackney. It shares a single FTTP Community Fibre connection over two floors of studios via ES8 with Cloudkey monitoring of the 6 UAP.
