A joyful moment. Well done @citywestminster.bsky.social and all those involved in turning Strand from four lanes of traffic to a place that is for people and for #nature. We think it could be the first time a project like this has been awarded a Green Flag! #LDADesign #NRP #MichaelGrubbStudio #WSP

#SketchFriday is a lovely full stop to our busy week. This time, we're in for a treat as Robert Ellis takes us high up into the mountains with sketches from a trip to Patagonia, capturing wild weather, camping in the trees and the spectacular lake and mountains at the end of the trek. #LDADesign

Fantastic photos by Mike Massaro of the lighting for Beresford Square in Woolwich by #MichaelGrubbStudio. Great work that ensures our design for the square transitions beautifully from day into evening and a reminder of the vital contribution lighting makes to public space. #ldadesign #landscape
