Lewisham Shopping Centre for LandsecU+I

Lewisham is shortlisted for Future Public Realm and Community Engagement categories. Inspired by Lewisham's Anglo-Saxon name "Levesham", meaning "House amongst the Meadow," Studio Egret West envisions a multi-level green landscape atop the shopping centre, transforming it into a vibrant, accessible public space. It addresses the critical need for urban social spaces, with flood-resilient meadows, enhanced biodiversity, and connections to the nearby River Ravensbourne and park network—making it a year-round green destination for all.

Earls Court Masterplan for The Earls Court Development Company

Our vision for Earls Court is shortlisted for the Future Place category. Working in a 50/50 collaboration between Studio Egret West and Hawkins\Brown we have taken a harmonising approach from the outset, weaving together the four “Place Pillars” of Nature, Innovation, Culture, and Neighbourhood, promising an inspiring new destination designed for all stages of life. The vision sets to bring wonder back to Earls Court with music, arts and entertainment, and homes. A network of Exhibition Gardens will position nature as a golden thread running through the masterplan with a 4.5-acre urban park at the heart of the site. Studio Egret West are collaborating with SLA on the multi layered landscape.

Earls Court has also been shortlisted in the Community Engagement and Activation categories. Here, The Earls Court Development Company have ensured local voices guide every step of our journey, such as through the Public Realm Inclusivity Panel, in collaboration with ZCD Architects. The long term framework has been inspired by Earls Court’s innovative meanwhile initiatives, making use of the long-empty site, from Padel Social Club to Come Alive: The Greatest Showman.

Greyfriars Green for West Northamptonshire Council

Greyfriars Green is shortlisted for both Future Place Up to 10ha and Community Engagement categories. Studio Egret West's transformative vision reimagines a derelict site as a vibrant, campus-like destination that amplifies nature, creativity, play, living, and connectivity. Anchored by a central park with an inviting amphitheatre, the project integrates a mix of uses, diverse housing options, affordable workspaces, creative and cultural venues. Working with Deetu, the project and place principles were shaped through a bespoke digital platform ampnorthampton.com, which saw 2,500 survey responses, 6,000 comments, 12,000 website sessions, and 20,000 page views from nearly 10,000 unique users.
