The centre offers a variety of small to large-sized studios. Exact sizes, prices and availability vary between individual spaces.
During a viewing, you’ll be able to see the available studios and their exact sizes and prices, and speak to a member of the SET team about finding a space that works for you and your practice.
Studio upkeep and maintenance
In keeping with our DIY roots, our studios are maintained through a collaborative model. While SET manages the building and communal facilities, the day-to-day upkeep and internal maintenance of your individual studio are your responsibility. SET provides support for standard repairs free of charge. However, because we are a charity with limited resources, please be aware that lead times for non-urgent repairs can be significant. This approach is what allows us to keep our rents genuinely affordable and stable for the long term.
Move-in dates
Move-in dates depend on studio availability and will be confirmed by the SET team when a space is offered.
