Developing bespoke public art, lighting, seating and accessibility strategies to enhance truly meaningful public realm has set a benchmark for the wider area and shaped the development into the successful new urban quarter that exists today.

A unique destination for London, the sweeping amphitheatre invites a broad audience to dwell in this dramatic events space, adjoined by an award-winning footbridge linking the Paddington Basin and the picturesque Little Venice. The mature lime tree avenue provides a structured green façade between the square and the canal side residential apartments. The Partners at M+A delivered the planning and construction of this project whilst at Lovejoy.
