The base of the culture house is orientated on the same plain as the industrial area in which it resides whilst from the first floor and above are orientated towards the residential area creating visual links between the buildings and both areas. Access from the industrial area can be gained from the east and west of The Link appealing to the workers commuting by means of the DLR station. From the residential area access can be gained from the north side of the culture house where there is a footpath which directly mimics the directionality and width of the main footpath used to access the DLR station.
