Thrilled to announce about our nomination alongside Civic Engineers for the Infrastructure award at The Pineapples 2025 for Kingsway in Stretford for Trafford Council 🍍 Previously an arterial route with two lanes of traffic in either direction which severed the town-centre, it has been turned into a place-focussed route prioritising active travel and pedestrian permeability. Led by Civic Engineers we were able to contribute to the collaborative and iterative design process for the proposals for Kingsway for improving green infrastructure and creating an enlarged public realm with extensive 'play on the way ' integrated into the completed landscape. Shaun Lyons, Associate in Exterior Architecture Ltd Manchester studio adds, "Kingsway serves as a pioneering example of what can be achieved by taking a place first approach to Highway Design. It is great to see the completed scheme being used in so may ways by the people of Stretford and, combined with the wider Stretford Mall masterplan, will continue to improve connectivity, biodiversity and climate resilience for Stretford for years to come." Congratulations and good luck to all, we’re looking forward to the Festival of Pineapples with The Developer and Festival of Place 👏 #Pineapples2025 #ExteriorArchitecture #LandscapeArchitecture #Collaboration #PublicRealm #Connectivity #Kingsway #Stretford #GreenInfrastructure 📸 Civic Engineers
Brilliant news! Exterior Architecture Ltd thoroughly enjoyed supporting the Royal Albert Hall x Grimshaw Foundations PAD programme at the Big Build Day. Congratulations to all involved!
The Royal Albert Hall x Grimshaw Foundation programme, 'Performance. Architecture. Design.’ (PAD) has won a TET (ThorntonEducationTrust) Inspire Future Generations Award in the Children Long Term Programme category! The awards recognise organisations working with children and young people, to engage them in advocating for a better built environment, and it’s an honour to be recognised for PAD, which was led with the support of Urban Learners in 2024. Over six months the programme worked with 160 students, and the Hall's Associate Artists — Rhael 'LionHeart' Cape Hon FRIBA, Anna Lapwood, Jess Gillam, and Corey Baker — to introduce, engage, and immerse engage young people in creative thinking, making and learning and expose them to the opportunities in creative professions. The culmination was a Big Build Day where eight different installations, designed as performance spaces, were constructed at the Royal Albert Hall. It’s fantastic to be part of these awards that promote the commitment in the industry to closing the gap between architecture and education, encouraging a diversity of thought and inclusion through activity, collaboration and research. Congratulations to all the other winners → https://lnkd.in/dxExx3M2 And thank you and congratulations to the amazing group of students who took part in PAD, the inspiring Royal Albert Hall Associate Artists, and to all our volunteers from Mott MacDonald, AKT II, Hoare Lea, SHH Architecture & Interiors, Exterior Architecture Ltd, MICA Architects, Momentum Transport Consultancy, and ING Media.

We're delighted to share the completion of New Acres designed for Legal & General and providing over 1000 new rental homes in Zone 2. This stunning new build-to-rent development, one of the largest in London, opens up commuter routes and creates new pedestrian access between the riverside and Wandsworth Town station. In an area previously dominated by car-centric design, New Acres is designed to put the pedestrian first. Residents have easy access to a variety of amenities and open spaces, including new green public realm, a 25m heated outdoor lido, and extensive cycle storage to encourage a healthy lifestyle. With 35% affordable housing and 75% already let, New Acres is set to become a vibrant new quarter for Wandsworth and South West London. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Amazing project!
The Waterloo Station Masterplan has been Highly Commended at the NLA New London Awards 2024! Led by London Borough of Lambeth and Networkrail, this social value-driven masterplan envisions a people-focused transformation of Waterloo Station and the South Bank, creating a world-class multimodal transport and civic hub. Waterloo is one of the busiest transport hubs in the UK, drawing over 100 million visitors annually and with a growing population of residents and workers. The masterplan sets the conditions for a cohesive and legible network of streets, spaces, transport and development across this area of south London, which will not only enhance connectivity, but also create an active, sustainable, inclusive and healthy destination.

We very much enjoyed bringing the project to life on a site with a lot of potential and an opportunity to drive even more activity and life into this part of Watford at the New Watford Market. Bringing life back to the High Street and bringing communities back together.
We are thrilled to announce our vision for a New Watford Market on behalf of Plymouth Holdings Inc has received planning consent! Congratulations to everyone involved, including: Carson+Sall and Exterior Architecture Ltd. Watford Market has long been a vital part of the town’s vibrant identity, and this project marks the next chapter in its evolution. With a rich history of creative community enterprise – spanning music, film, food, and trade – Watford is a town known for its dynamism and innovation. Our vision seeks to build on this legacy, transforming the market into a thriving intergenerational campus that celebrates Watford’s cultural roots while creating a model for integrated city living redefining the role of a town-centre destination in the 21st century. By blending architecture and masterplanning with an understanding of commercial viability, our proposals deliver a regeneration project for Watford that is both visionary and practical. The result combines bold architectural interventions – such as the adaptive reuse of the retained facade along The Parade as a cultural landmark – with strategic urban planning to reconnect the station to the town centre via newly activated pedestrian routes. The scheme introduces 152 new homes above a revitalised market, complemented by flexible workspaces, allotments, play areas, and spaces for events. Enhanced infrastructure, as well as improved pedestrian connections, includes open spaces, and landscaping, creating a more accessible and inviting environment. Watford Market’s regeneration is not just about revitalising a specific site – it’s about setting a benchmark for how town centres can adapt to the challenges and opportunities of the future. Unlike historic city centres which evolved organically over time, this project offers a rare chance to create a cohesive destination in one transformative phase.
Great success! This was quite a beast of a project to unlock the amazing potential around Waterloo Station. Congrats to the wider team on a massive effort to chart the way forward for this iconic landmark station.

What a great success Clarion! And thanks for sharing, we are extremely proud of our contribution to this scheme as landscape architects and a massive thanks to yourselves and our wonderful team of collaborators who have delivered an excellent scheme.
📍 The Cocoa Works, York We're proud to announce our flagship project to transform the iconic Rowntree's Factory into a residential development is now complete. The Cocoa Works has been sensitively redeveloped into 279 apartments, 30 per cent of which are affordable homes. As part of the redevelopment, the former Joseph Rowntree Memorial library has been re-imagined as a co-working and meeting space for residents, including a concierge, and the newly created William Sutton pavilion is home to independent York café CAVO. As the former Rowntree's Factory, the building was once an incredible centre of community in the city. Now, after years of being left derelict, residents are starting to move in and enjoy the space. We're excited to see it flourish as a new community begins to thrive here once again. Richard Cook, Chief Development Officer at Clarion Housing Group said: "We wanted to do more than just build homes at The Cocoa Works. We aspired to deliver more by sympathetically redeveloping the factory to sit at the centre of a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood which provides quality homes, amenities and shared spaces to help foster a genuine community. With The Cocoa Works now complete, it gives me tremendous pride to be able to say we’ve delivered on that promise.” Henry Boot Construction
