These two dwellings were inhabited by two sisters, Hannah and Rebecca Levy, from 1920 until their respective deaths in 2008 and 2010. Now it is a centre for the arts funded by Alex Sainsbury. As well as a gallery, the building houses offices, two flats for resident artists and a studio space on the third and fourth floors. The aim was for each element to make a round trip from past to present. The interiors have been recovered for uses which do not belong to them and at every step the viewer can hear echoes of proportion and decoration from when this area, Spitalfields, was occupied by silk-mercers.
