A home for creatives. A catalyst for change.

Penzance: a Cornish coastal town where the air is as charged with creativity as it is with salt. But at its heart was a high street “crying out” for reinvigoration. Pixel was designed to change that.

Pixel isn’t just a collection of flexible studios—it’s a place where old meets new. Where fresh ideas fizz behind a centuries-old wall and a bold glass façade brings verve and footfall back to the street.

In June 2025, we caught up with the creatives who call Pixel home to find out how craft, culture and community have thrived in Penzance.

The excerpts below are taken from the one-to-one interviews. We are grateful to all the inhabitants for sharing their experiences.
