Our Team
Spacecraft was set up by four ambitious individuals with a range of skills and industry experience. Having worked on a number of art, workspace and placemaking projects together, the idea about Spacecraft was born from the perception that there is very limited understanding amongst property professionals about what makes a good place and how to respond to community needs.
Our job is to craft places out of spaces.
