Pressure, loss and emerging resilience: London’s Cultural Production Spaces.

Our latest research on London’s Cultural Production Spaces, on behalf of the Mayor of London, paints a picture of a sector under pressure, yet adapting with ingenuity. Read more in bio 👀 by @we_made_that

How do you balance the extraordinary weight of history of a UNESCO World Heritage Site alongside the everyday demands of a busy, working town centre?

That's the challenge at the heart of our work in Greenwich Town Centre, where we are focusing on public realm design and engagement on the Liveable Neighbourhood Scheme for the @royal_greenwich and @transportforlondon.

Working with lead consultant and transport engineers @steer_group , heritage specialists @authenticfutures and horticulturalist @errolreubenfernandes, we are creating streets that prioritise walking and cycling whilst protecting the market, the London Marathon route and the character of a place people genuinely love.

Culture is what makes London, London and it enriches our lives. What spaces are needed? 🎨 🎶 🎭 📚

The @mayorofldn wants to better understand the realities of running the spaces where culture is experienced across the city — and we need your input.

📣 If you own, operate, or manage a public-facing cultural space - such as live music venues, nightclubs, dance performance venues, cinemas, arts centres, theatres, museums and public galleries, commercial galleries and libraries and archives, we want to hear from you.

Take the survey. Deadline: Friday 10 July 2026

How do we transform a vital industrial corridor into a greener, more connected space for people and nature?

We are working with the @newhamlondon, transport consultants @steer_group, and horticultural expert @errolreubenfernandes to reimagine the Cody Road corridor in Canning Town.

This project grounds our strategic vision in tangible delivery. Following our development of the Canning Town Enterprise Hub Strategic Regeneration Framework in 2025, we are working on delivering:

🚴 Active travel and connectivity: Upgrading pedestrian and cycling routes to create a safer, more legible gateway near Star Lane DLR
🍃 Climate resilience: Introducing green infrastructure to boost biodiversity, improve air quality, and offset carbon
♻️ Circular delivery: Demonstrating material reuse and embedding local commissioning

We’ll be working alongside with @cody_dockers and responding to the targets of Newham’s Carbon Offset Fund to ensure that the rapid growth of East London is matched by the sustainability of its public realm.

Tom Fox featured in @arch_today's ongoing ‘Reinventing Practice’ series, photographed by @timothysoarphotographer as part of the Regenerative Architecture Index.

As Senior Associate, Tom leads the practice’s strategies and masterplans alongside his Climate Champion role at We Made That. Most recently this includes building circular industries while restoring riverside ecology in Canning Town and Cody Road Spatial Regeneration Framework.

The feature gives a wider glimpse into our approach to regenerative practice, from 'cool routes' in Croydon and our 'retrofit triage' tool, to engaging over 4,700 people across our projects - enabling us to reach wider communities year on year.

Against intense pressure to deliver, we’re proud that we still found space and time as a team for reflection. This year of focusing on Rights to Place has made us firmer in our commitment to equitable practice.

What has emerged from 2025 is a framework for better questions. The five rights we identified, to a Healthy City, to a Home, to Care, to Difference, and to a Voice, are not abstract ideals. They are practical tests that we intend to apply with greater consistency and rigour across every brief we take on in 2026. They correspond to duties: ours as practitioners, and those of the clients, communities and institutions we work alongside.

Sneaking a peek at progress in Weston-super-Mare 🌊🏊‍♀️✨

We're helping @northsomersetlife deliver key improvements across the town as part of their £20 million Government funded programme, with works now progressing on site.

At Marine Lake, works are underway to re-invigorate and secure the future of this valued but dilapidated community facility. Works include walkway re-surfacing, new welcome ‘gateway’ signage, the re-introduction of public toilets, and the potential for paddle board and watersports hire facilities.

Grove Park's main entrance has been transformed with welcoming paving, sustainable drainage and community-chosen planting, plus a new shingle-clad public toilets within the park will support the park café and community events.
New wayfinding is guiding people through the town centre too.

We’ve been working with Fenton Holloway, @robertbrayassociates, @superculturewsm and @xco2_e to bring these valued spaces back to life as a vibrant, year-round destination.
