Butterfly Walk Shopping Centre
London

Architecture | Landscaping | Planning

Our challenge in redesigning the 1970s shopping mall in South London was to help reverse its reputation for cheap shopping and social problems, and bring about long-term improvements to retailers and the local community. Working with Southwark Council we chose to rejuvenate the environment and enliven the shopping experience by selective replacement of parts of the building. A glass roof was installed and new entrances created to let in the daylight and improve visibility. Lighter flooring has been laid; walls made brighter and tenants’ now have individually designed signage and shop fronts. Security has also been enhanced to give shoppers greater confidence.
