The tale of Sidepiece’s birth cannot be told without giving a nod to the genesis of the whole operation: Whitechapel Projects. Founded by Preston Casertano, this creative oasis is inspired by the pulsating energy of London’s Whitechapel District, which thrives on the intersection of art, performance, and everyday life. The commitment to art and community, reflected in the adaptive reuse of a 120-year-old warehouse, lies at the heart of Whitechapel Projects. This ethos has been seamlessly translated into the design and spirit of Sidepiece.
An authentic manifestation of Schlossbach’s philosophy, Sidepiece, and by extension, the entire Whitechapel Projects, serve as a testament to the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social equity. Schlossbach firmly believes in the interconnectedness of our community, stating, “We are all connected and deserving of having a joyful and kind existence.”
