Department Store, London

Revealing the Charterhouse, London

This Grade I-listed complex of historic buildings and gardens was a 14th century monastery-turned-almshouse. In partnership with the Museum of London, Charterhouse Square has now been made open to the public for the first time, taking touring parties and running groups for older people, and providing education and learning.

2019 Contribution to Place

Merchant Square Footbridge, London

Every Wednesday and Friday at 12pm and every Saturday at 2pm, the new Fan Bridge at Paddington Basin reminds residents, workers and visitors of its presence. The 20m bridge over the Grand Union Canal is made from five different metal strands that lift one by one like a Japanese hand fan. The 3m wide cantilevered bridge has a hidden underground machine room and was designed to have drama in its movement.
