Studio Weave were appointed alongside LDA Design and GortScott to develop the Woolwich ‘Future High Street Fund’ Town Centre Improvements Vision which was set out by WeMadeThat in 2021. Our scope focused on the ‘market pavilion site’ adjacent to proposals for Beresford Square and The Royal Arsenal Gatehouse.

Recognising the need for a diverse ecosystem of spaces, we conceptualised a ‘market garden’ which prioritised maximising the quantity of soft landscape, containing a ‘pavilion’ hosting commercial space and public wc’s. The pavilion performs a civic role marking the threshold between the bustle of Beresford Square, and the calm of the garden.
