About Space Black

We are a creative studio of Black designers, exploring alternative spatial futures for marginalised communities. Though; Education, Concept Design & Research and Culture, we explore how cities and spaces can be designed to accommodate for the needs and perception of underrepresented and marginalised communities to enable them to thrive. Space Black was founded by a group of multidisciplinary Black built environment professionals and activists, emerging from education and entering the industry feeling disillusioned. Though playing a huge role in shaping society, each profession lacked the accountability and intentional delivery of this responsibility. This was particularly evident when designing for those from marginalised backgrounds. Our founders found difficulty juggling their creative practices as Digital Designers and DJs in their roles. Their deep appreciation for culture had no place in traditional practice, though it informed a high part of their lived experience. Space Black was created as both an act of resistance, and love for a profession we refuse to abandon. Though born from a built environment context, we see our work exploring designing for diversity applicable across the design industry.
