Haworth Tompkins has three projects shortlisted at this year’s Pineapple Awards by The Developer and Festival of Place, which celebrate excellence in placemaking. The shortlists demonstrate the strength of our approach to placemaking and collaborative design.
Future Place (over 20ha) category, Tendring and Colchester Borders Garden Community, Colchester for Latimer. The masterplan developed with Kjellander Sjöberg, Periscope, Exploration Architecture and Stantec will deliver 7,750 new homes across three distinct neighbourhoods over the next 20 years.
Shortlisted in Future Place (under 20ha) is 980 Great West Road, London Borough of Hounslow for Hadley Property Group, alongside Studio Egret West, Metropolitan Workshop LLP and dRMM. Shaped by a reuse-first approach and extensive community co-design, the scheme balances housing, employment and sustainability to create a vibrant new neighbourhood.
We are also part of the wider team shortlisted for Smithfield, Birmingham for Lendlease and Birmingham City Council, working with Prior + Partners, Bell Phillips, David Kohn Architects, DP9, Field Operations, dRMM, Intervention Architecture, Minesh Patel Architects, Ramboll, Speirs Major and WSP.
