The thriving network of creative businesses in St Ives, Cornwall, includes PBWC Architects. The strong tourism economy creates high demand for buildings with residential potential and this has forced creatives to find other types of space for their studios. It makes this a great town to visit during the annual 'Open Studios' fortnight, as you get a glimpse of the 'other St Ives' behind the picture postcard harbour. It exposes a range of creative working spaces from old pilchard cellars to, in our case, a former petrol station.
