This is the Green Island Shed, a space to cultivate creativity, build connections and exchange knowledge.
Filled to the brim with tools, machinery and materials, the community space becomes a hub of activity on Monday, Friday and Saturday mornings as up to 15 members meet to hammer, saw, nail and screw together a wide range of items.
Shed member Bruce Cromb said while some sheds catered exclusively to men, Green Island Shed opened its doors to everyone, regardless of gender.
"It has never been a man’s shed, it’s a community shed, we have ladies and everything here."
Rows of meticulously organised tools line the walls and the containers are divided into specific areas such as electronics, woodworking and metalwork.
There is a sunny kitchen area where the members can share a cup of tea or coffee and chat.
Since forming in 2017, the group have taken on many different projects, often benefiting local community groups.
Recent projects include creating a wooden playhouse and a colourful blue imaginative play boat for a local kindergarten.
The group also make items to sell at the Green Island Market Day and the Brighton Gala Day, proceeds going back to keep the community group operating.
These items include wooden novelty Christmas trees that can be planted outdoors and strung with LED lights, bird feeders, planter boxes, Lilliput Libraries and quirky "gate people" that hang over garden fences.
Much of their work is crafted from recycled materials such as wood from pallets.
While the shed raised funds from grants when it started, more recently it has been working on being self-funding.
Shed member David Mackle said it had been supplied with a vacuum-forming machine to create moulds of "following faces" for the amusement centre.
These are plastic moulds of historical figures, including Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln, which seem to follow you when they are backlit by a light source.
Income from this contract helped sustain the shed’s operations and ensured its future, Mr Mackle said.
"And with this sort of thing, we don’t need to go for grants any more."
While many in the group were older men, the shed welcomed everyone, Mr Mackle said.
The only criteria is that people must not be a danger to themselves or other people.
Because it is situated next to a school, it also has a requirement that members are not a danger to young children.
The shed has two female members and it has also been used as a space for homeschooled children to learn essential hands-on skills in a supportive environment.
Mr Cromb said the Green Island Shed did more than simply provide space to make items.
It was also a chance to meet and connect for its members, most of whom were retirees.
Over cups of tea or coffee, they could share stories, laughs and life lessons.
"You learn new things from other people."
