The building development is part of the Somerleyton Road Development Project in partnership with the London Borough of Lambeth. As a new theatre embedded in the community, Brixton House aims to serve the residents and the creative community of Brixton and beyond.
Cousins involvement consisted of internal decorations to all facilities including black sprayed ceilings with all the metal containment fitted, walls being painted using diamond matt and woodwork using quick drying satinwood
Also, there were extensive metal works which formed a main staircases then painted in multiple colours
The Project was delivered 2 years later due to constant design issues and amendment but eventually was delivered in 2022
