About

We opened International House in Brixton in Autumn 2018. A home for entrepreneurs and locals unlike any other - facilitated by our BuyGiveWork initiative where space is given away when space is bought. The building is spread over 12 storeys, with five new Give Hubs for Brixton and all the trimmings you expect from a professional workspace.

Across 65,000 sq ft we have a range of options to suit all budgets, with fixed desks and private offices of different sizes available, and a co-working and social space open to all on the top floor (coming soon).

Building History and Working with Lambeth Council

Up until early 2018 International House was used by around 600 Council staff from Lambeth Council’s Children and Young People’s Services. As part of Council’s rationalisation of its office buildings these staff recently moved into the refurbished Lambeth Town Hall and new Civic Centre on Brixton Hill. International House remains in Council ownership and has been earmarked for redevelopment after 5 years as part of the Brixton Central masterplan. 3Space’s interim activity will play a part in informing these future regeneration plans. We are delighted to be working with Lambeth Council on this project which will create space for 850 jobs in the heart of Brixton and provide access to opportunities for all in the community.

About 3Space

3Space was formed in 2010 as a direct response to the increase in vacant commercial premises brought about by the financial crisis and changes in the way we work and shop. Whilst others saw the empty buildings, we saw the opportunity. We work with government, developers and corporates and have operated over 40 buildings across the UK, making better use of commercial space to drive regeneration and benefit local communities.

Our goal is to increase the provision of spaces for public good in cities. As policy starts to change, and with a new appetite from city leaders for more efficient use of buildings and Community Wealth Building outcomes, 3Space are working on new practical operating models and partnerships which can be implemented at scale. For example, our operating model BUYGIVEWORK is the first to apply the Buy One = Give One approach to property. Businesses buy space, 3Space give space away to local non-profits and experimental projects, and the result is a better workplace - one that is representative of the area whilst fostering new types of uses and technologies.
