Since the beginning of the 21st century, we have seen dramatic changes in attitudes towards the streets and public spaces of London. The capital’s squares, parks, rivers and green spaces play an equally important role as the surrounding buildings when it comes to creating a more human city. Recent years have seen all manner of projects put in place throughout London to revitalise its public spaces, including the construction of the Olympic Park, the pedestrianisation of Trafalgar Square and many smaller projects that have focused on improving the city’ streets and parks. All of these steps have contributed to London’s evolution into a more people-friendly metropolis.
The last decade has seen staggering architectural innovation and many projects driven by dynamic and creative professionals who have served as the drivers behind the changing attitudes. The city has witnessed the expanding role of Business Improvement Districts and the impact of major infrastructure projects. Furthermore, the city has benefited from cycling and community initiatives, government-led investments, regeneration programmes and community managed initiatives.
The next ten years will see the arrival of Crossrail, which will transform the lives of thousands of daily commuters and lead to the revitalisation of many London boroughs through new housing and retail developments. The Mayor’s cycling vision and the Transport for London’s classification of the “family of streets” will bring major changes to the capital, inspiring continued evolution to successfully meet the challenges of a growing city and facilitate the diverse ways in which people work, live and function within it.
As a dynamic and professional team or architects in London, we have been involved in some of the most exciting and innovative projects. We specialise in the design and creation of architecture that helps to inform its surroundings and supports the daily internal activities and function of its inhabitants. We remain dedicated to creating the perfect architectural solutions for public use.
