Lambeth Women’s Workshop (1979 -80)

By the late seventies, many women in the UK wanted to work in the building trades. There was a need to establish training facilities which were not hostile to women learning these hitherto “male” skills. When funding became available to set up a “Women’s Carpentry Workshop” in Lambeth, Matrix was approached to help with the renovation. It was after this collaboration that the architectural practice was set up formally.
