A Wake-up Call

Founder of RE-VIVE Callum Howie reveals how the studio sought out unconventional surroundings

Our workspace is in Castleton Mills, on the Leeds Liverpool canal in central Leeds. The Grade II listed former flax mill is a collection of creative studios and SMEs. Restored in 2012 by our neighbours Brookes Contracting, the building is majestic and boasts spectacular architecture, making it the perfect setting for our interior design studio.

Being surrounded by over 25 other companies means we have a fantastic variety of businesses in our community that we get to socialise and work with. It’s not always easy running a small business, and being in a co-working space creates more structure and community. Outside of our private studio space, we have breakout spaces and communal areas that all the businesses can use.
