Originally a warehouse for storing Anise, the 19th century building was converted in 2000. Sitting opposite the superb Hopkins building that houses Conran's head office and a moments walk away from the former Design Museum and the waterfront at Butlers Wharf, Anise Gallery keeps some spectacular architectural company.

Acquired in 2011 by architectural illustration company AVR London, extensive renovations followed. Partitions were removed to open the entire 1500 sq foot warehouse up, suspended ceilings were ripped down revealing original pipe work and beams, the floor was sanded back to its former glory and with the help of Jerry Tate Architects, bespoke fixtures and fittings were commissioned to maximise the beauty of the space and its potential uses.

The highlight of these being the moveable screens, hand made in 2012 by Joseph Lewis, their functions are numerous. Acting as room dividers for meetings and events, hanging walls for exhibitions and screening walls for presentations.

In 2012 Anise Gallery, currently housing AVR London, opened its own exhibition space. Promoting and exhibiting architectural art work and the links that exist between the mediums, the two companies soon developed a flourishing symbiotic relationship. 48 exhibitions later, the gallery has made a name for itself amongst the local and architectural community and has been published in The Sunday Times, The Architects Journal, Time Out, Stylist Magazine, The RIBA Journal, Dezeen, Wallpaper and many more.

The focus of the space has undeniably become about beautiful craftsmanship, flexibility and work space collaboration. Fast-forward to 2018 and this is more evident than ever as both companies, alongside the virtual reality arm of the business, flourish and are using their knowledge and skill to collaborate on a variety of exciting projects under the new branding of AAA Projects.
