Woolwich Town Centre has won a Pineapple Award in the Public Space category, recognising the wider team’s work for the Royal Borough of Greenwich, including our restoration of the Royal Arsenal Gatehouse.

The award formed part of a submission by LDA Design, who led the public realm work alongside Studio Weave and Gort Scott. Together, the project brings the restored Gatehouse, a new pavilion by Studio Weave, and generous new public space into a cohesive and playful whole.

The judges commented: “The project highlights the challenges and opportunities of retrofitting within an existing environment and for evolving needs. Consideration is given to future use and long-term resilience while retaining current uses. The scheme incorporates significant urban interventions in a child-friendly and accessible way. Material reuse is evident and the pavilion is well loved.”
