Completed Place

London Wall Place, London

London Wall Place is made up of two new corporate buildings with nine roof terraces. The buildings are located on an important historic site within the City of London, next to St Alphage Church’s medieval ruins and London Wall. The brief was to unlock these historic structures, replace those structures of no heritage value and create a commercial campus for 5,000 people.

2019 Completed Place

One Tower Bridge masterplan, London

The One Tower Bridge masterplan has linked the contemporary glass More London estate with the warehouse stock of Shad Thames. The new district opened in the autumn 2017, with The Ivy restaurant and the Bridge Theatre on a new pedestrianised thoroughfare, Duchess Walk. Views of Tower Bridge are maximised from the new boulevard lined with shops, cafes, a spa and bike parking.

2019 Completed Place

Italian Gardens, Weston-super-Mare

The Italian Gardens sit to the north of the high street of Weston-super-Mare, previously divorced from its surroundings and run-down. Although well-used by the community, a £2.5m grant meant the space could be upgraded and routes opened to the town.

2019 Completed Place

Balham Town Centre, London

Balham has undergone much change as young professionals and families, priced out of Clapham, moved in to the area. But the town centre and streetscape was in need of improvement. The scheme to overhaul the public realm included transforming Hildreth Street into a vibrant market square with a cafe strip and finding a creative solution to the ‘ugly wall’, a flank wall that is now covered in mock-Victorian green faience tiling as a nod to the Northern Line.
