1 PORTAL WAY THE BUILDING AVAILABILITY FAQS LOCATION COMMUNITY INCUBATOR NEWS & INSIGHTS CONTACT Back to Sciopolis Made in North Acton: 300 prosthetics a month. Meet Koalaa. Before you move into 1 Portal Way , it helps to know who your neighbours are, not just the people who will live beside you, but the people whose work is shaping what this area is becoming. One of them is Sanish Mistry, a designer at Koalaa, a company reinventing what prosthetics can be and who gets access to them. Koalaa builds soft upper limb prosthetics that can be fitted instantly, sent through the post, and produced at scale. Their mission is simple: make prosthetics accessible to anyone in the world who wants one, regardless of where they live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRhwIqh4XUo The story began at Imperial. Koalaa’s founder, Nate, was a mechanical engineering student when he met Alex Lewis, a quadruple amputee recovering from sepsis. Nate wanted to build something “Ironman style” for him, but the things Alex valued most turned out to be much simpler: a soft fabric sleeve he could slip into immediately and a tiny clip that let him draw again. From that moment, Koalaa grew prototype by prototype, first in Imperial’s Hackspace, then in shared labs in White City and finally into a full R&D and production space in North Acton. This is the journey Imperial imagines for its innovators: learn in South Kensington, experiment in White City and scale production in North Acton. Koalaa has lived that journey step by step. Why North Acton and Park Royal? Because it offers what most of London cannot: space to design, space to test, space to build. The team needed room for sewing machines, 3D printers, fabrication tools, storage and a growing workforce, all of which are impossible to assemble in central London. North Acton/Park Royal let them keep their R&D close to the university ecosystem in White City while giving them the flexibility to manufacture at real scale. Today, Koalaa designs and produces around 300 prosthetic products a month from this neighbourhood and ships them across the world. Their devices are used in Sierra Leone, Gaza, Jordan, Ukraine, the United States and the UK. They have now supported more than 1,500 users across six continents, all from a workshop a few minutes from where you will live. Why is this relevant? Because Koalaa’s story says something important about this neighbourhood. It is a place where making matters. If someone visits Koalaa in the morning asking for a custom adapter, the team can design it, 3D print it and have them testing it the same afternoon. North Acton allows that kind of immediacy, something incredibly rare in London. It is a place with a true maker ecosystem. If Koalaa needs a part, a tool or a specialist machine, the answer is usually that someone around the corner has it. They collaborate with neighbours like POW Workshops, share equipment, swap skills and solve problems face to face. It is a place where design, science, craft and social impact meet. Koalaa sits alongside artists, fabricators, engineers, food tech startups and makers. It is real, a working neighbourhood with energy, talent and curiosity. It is becoming a social, supportive community. There are local events, open studios, weekend workshops, new cafés and restaurants, and a growing culture of sharing skills and supporting one another. It is also incredibly well connected: with the Central Line, Overground, cycle routes and the coming Old Oak Common interchange, it is one of the easiest places in London to move between research, industry and global travel. So what would Sanish say to you directly? “Welcome to a neighbourhood where things get built quickly, collaboratively and with heart. We came to North Acton because it gave us the space to design, test and manufacture without leaving London. It connected us to makers, tools and a community we could not find anywhere else." If you're thinking of moving to the area, you're joining a place where people look out for each other, where ideas travel easily between buildings, and where problem-solving happens with your hands as much as your head. Step inside, get involved, and see what's possible when you work in a neighbourhood that builds things every day. Want to come and have a look at North Acton? Want to base yourself in the area?

1 PORTAL WAY THE BUILDING AVAILABILITY FAQS LOCATION COMMUNITY INCUBATOR NEWS & INSIGHTS CONTACT Back to Sciopolis Art as Infrastructure: how creativity is rewiring North Acton & Park Royal One Portal Way isn’t just a new building. It’s a new neighbourhood taking shape in North Acton, right in between Park Royal and White City, a place where scientists, engineers, creators, and residents will live and work side by side. That’s why the exterior of the building has been painted by someone who understands this area from the inside: local artist and creative founder, David Samuel . David has worked in Park Royal for over a decade. In that time, he’s watched the area evolve from an industrial zone into one of London’s most exciting centres for creativity and making. His murals, bold, abstract and instantly recognisable, have become a visual thread weaving through the neighbourhood. They’re not just art; they’re markers, signals, and signposts. They help people find their way, understand where they are and feel part of something. Bringing his work onto One Portal Way is a way of honouring the community that already exists here and welcoming the community that is about to arrive. Why does that matter for the people who will live or work at One Portal Way? Because places feel better—and function better—when you can read their story the moment you walk in. David’s mural signals that this is a neighbourhood rooted in real craft, real creativity, and real people. It shows that One Portal Way isn’t being dropped into a blank space; it’s being built in the middle of a living and breathing ecosystem. Park Royal is full of artists, sculptors, film‑makers, designers, and fabricators. White City, just a short walk away, is full of scientists, engineers, and researchers. David stands at the meeting point of those worlds. He’s already collaborating with Imperial College engineers, turning his hand‑made sculptures into 3D‑printed hybrids using laboratory technologies. Their first project together earned the student, Alex Ambrose, a First. More importantly, it sparked a movement: students are now asking how artists can help them think differently, and artists are discovering how science can expand their work. This is the type of crossover that One Portal Way can support and amplify. By adopting a local artist into the building’s identity—literally into its skin—you invite the wider community in. You make it easier for residents to discover what’s around them. You create natural paths between the makers of Park Royal and the innovators of One Portal Way, helping to shape a place where people don’t just pass through, but connect. David explains it simply:“Our science is world‑class. Our art is world‑class. When you bring them together, something new happens.” His mural is more than decoration. It’s a message that says: this is a place where communities converge and ideas mix. The thing we David is that what started as a commission became something much closer to a collaboration. Over the course of the project, he didn't just paint a building, he became part of the team working alongside us at Sciopolis and with McFeggan Brown, and winning over everyone he met with his passion for the area and his infectious enthusiasm. He brought his people with him, too. Members of his team have since entered our ecosystem and are becoming trusted suppliers in their own right. The photo below, of Charlie and David mid-hug as the project wrapped, says it better than we can. He may have started as a supplier, but ended up a friend. Watch David's interview below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lthiHxXu3dU More about David: RareKind | Art & Design Studio for Murals, Signage and Direction 1 PORTAL WAY Cookie Policy | Privacy Polic y All rights reserved. ©Sciopolis@OnePortalWay 2026 | Website designed by Jamin Design Home The Building Location Community Latest Insights Contact Contact +44 7943 980146 info@sciopolis.co.uk Follow us on LinkedIn >
