“I previously ran my architecture practice from home and since moving into Blick I have found that my productivity has increased significantly (probably doubled!). The facilities are great: The shared area, which I use for client meetings creates the right balance between creativity and professionalism, while the shared studio space is simple and functional while allowing for personalisation.” Will Thornton

From Belfast City Centre get a Metro bus number 8B or 8C at Donegall Square East. Buses run regularly and can also be boarded at bus stops heading out of the city on Bedford Street, Dublin Road, Bradbury Place, University Road, and the Malone Road. There is a bus stop directly across from Blick Shared Studios, if you are unsure of where to get off, ask the driver to alert you of the stop closest to Chlorine Gardens/Fisherwick Church. When you get off the bus, look directly across the road and you will see Blick’s big black door. Please note that the 8A in either direction bypasses Blick and should be avoided.
