The Defector’s Weld
Nancye Goulden Award, 2024. The elevations of this Shepherds Bush Green landmark have been renovated in a sensitive and attractive manner that contributes to the street scene. Furthermore, the rear extension and remodelling has created an interesting semi-external space to the rear. ...

‘Livat’ Planters

Ravenscourt Park: Visitors Keep Out !
Wooden Spoon, 2024. True? It certainly looks like it. First, the popular paddling pool acquired a costly gated cage, a pre-booking requirement taking much the spontaneity out of a summer visit, with numbers, time limits and families frequently turned away. Next, some ...

The Sindercombe Social
Nomination for a Wooden Spoon, 2024 The Sindercombe Social has had an interesting makeover for 2024 with a Ziggy Stardust-inspired “youth club vibe”. It’s rather a contrast to the work undertaken to The Defectors Weld to improve their façade on the opposite corner of ...
