Grymsdyke Farm is a research facility, fabrication workshop and living-working space for architects, artists, designers and those interested in materials and processes of making. Based in the village of Lacey Green in Buckinghamshire, we run workshops, seminars and residencies with the aim of exploring the essential connections between processes of design, making and place. Our practice involves building relationships with other individuals who share a similar enthusiasm for making. Through this communal and collaborative approach, the Farm is a place where people can exchange ideas, working methods, interests and expertise.
WHO WE ARE
Grymsdyke Farm was established by its director Dr. Guan Lee, a practicing architect and lecturer at the Royal College of Art, the Bartlett School of Architecture and the University of Westminster. As an experienced architect and educator, Dr. Lee’s vision was to create a site in which practitioners and students can have the space and time to experiment with materials and design within a specific setting.
WHAT WE OFFER
The facilities at Grymsdyke Farm comprise a wood workshop and a 3 axis CNC digital fabrication facility (bed size 1500mm × 3000mm), a casting studio, a ceramic studio, a metal working area, an industrial 6 axis robotic arm, laser cutter (bed size 900mm × 1250mm) and a Zcorp 3D printer. As director, Guan Lee is responsible for the overall operation of the workshop. In addition to his own practice, Lee runs workshops at the Farm for his students at the Bartlett, RCA and University of Westminster whose work can be seen in the paddock and farm buildings around the site.
In addition to the workshop, we offer accommodation for up to 12 people, a communal kitchen and a large outdoor space comprising orchard, tennis court, paddock and vegetable garden.
