Through debates and guided architectural tours, Concrete Communities provides a welcoming space for honest conversations about inclusivity, equality, modernity and the importance of community.
We organise events that bring architects, design industry professionals and members of the public together, to talk openly about the places where we live, work and play. The built environment belongs to all of us. Help us explore why some buildings make us happy – and others don’t.

Vitsœ Headquarters + Production Building

Description
Calling all Dieter Rams lovers – you’ll be pleased to know the good people at Vitsœ have invited us back to their headquarters + production building for the third year running!
After two successful Concrete Communities tours, they’ve been brave enough to ask us back to explore the 135m long, 25m wide and 6m high space on Friday 25 September. 11:00 – 14:00.
Ticket holders will be treated to a full guided tour of the engineered beech timber building, followed by a knockout lunch cooked by Vitsœ’s very own in-house chef, Will.
You’ll also be able to view the Tom Strong exhibition of Braun products (gifted to Vitsœ and on permanent display). It’s an ideal opportunity to see Dieter’s work first-hand.
Understandably, tickets are very limited for this one. They are completely FREE, so we advise booking today to secure your place.
For car drivers, there’s free car parking available. For train people, there are plenty of super fast services to Leamington Spa. Vitsœ’s HQ is a few minutes’ stroll time from the railway station.
And finally – we hate sounding like a stuck record on this, but please don’t book a ticket unless you know for sure that you can attend. We hope to see you there!

Reviewing CC
Gathering feedback from attendees of our debates and guided tours is essential. Here’s a selection from our latest visit to the Vitsœ HQ and production building in Leamington Spa. Testimonials help Concrete Communities stay on track, in its aim to deliver events that encourage conversation between the design industry and members of the public. In addition to this, there’s a determination to bring people together so they can foster new friendships and become part of the wider Concrete Community.
