Space Shapes Behaviour

We’ve moved into a building designed with intention.

RÆBURN has relocated to Building A3 at Design District, Greenwich Peninsula. It’s a smaller, refined space — and with it an opportunity for recalibration. A chance to align our day-to-day working environment with the same principles that guide our design work: clarity, collaboration and long-term thinking.

Architecture that supports the work

Building A3 was designed by Adam Khan Architects, a practice known for thoughtful, context-driven, human-scale architecture. That mindset matters. You can feel it in the proportions, in the way the light moves through the space, and in the material honesty that lets the building do its job without shouting.

It is flexible, calm, and quietly purposeful — exactly what you want from a studio that needs to support making, testing and refining over time.

A shared ecosystem, distinct voices

The Design District itself is an interesting model: multiple architects, distinct voices, one shared ecosystem. That combination of individuality and adjacency resonates with how we prefer to operate. The best work rarely happens in isolation. It happens when designers, makers, cultural organisations and innovators overlap, share perspective, and build something stronger together.

When space shapes behaviour

At RÆBURN, we’ve always believed that space shapes behaviour. The studio influences process, and process influences outcomes. When the environment is clear, you edit better. When the layout supports flow, you collaborate more naturally. When the building is designed to last, it encourages you to think beyond the immediate — and that same principle applies to what we make.

Key ideas

• Clarity — a quieter environment that helps us focus and refine.
• Collaboration — space designed for overlap, exchange and making together.
• Longevity — architecture that encourages long-term thinking, not quick fixes.

Responsible Design, beyond aesthetics

Our approach to Responsible Design has never been about aesthetics alone. It’s about purpose, wearability and function — built through craft, creativity and community. It’s also about learning through constraints: using what already exists where possible, and designing garments that endure through use, repair and repeat wear.

Looking ahead

Building A3 feels like a good fit: a platform for making, thinking and collaboration — and a place where we can continue to open the doors to the community around us. We’re looking forward to welcoming collaborators, partners and friends into the space as we shape what comes next.
