Woolwich Town Centre and Fluke’s at Big Penny Social shortlisted for the [d]arc awards

We are delighted to share that two of our projects have been shortlisted for the [d]arc awards!

Lighting Design for Woolwich Town Centre has been shortlisted for [d]arc awards in the Spaces Category 2026

The first is Woolwich Town Centre, UK, shortlisted in the Spaces Category. This ambitious public realm project brings renewed clarity and character to the heart of Woolwich after dark, supporting safety, legibility and civic identity through a considered lighting strategy across a complex urban environment.

It was a pleasure to collaborate with: LDA Design, ECF, Civic, Hadron Consulting (Project Management), Gleeds, Elite Landscapes Ltd, Studio Bosk Ltd, Fountains Direct Ltd.

Lighting Design for Fluke's at Big Penny Social has been shortlisted for [d]arc awards in the Places Low Budget Category

Our second shortlisted project is Fluke’s at Big Penny Social, UK, recognised in the Places Low Budget Category. In contrast in scale and context, this scheme focuses on intimacy and atmosphere, using light to shape character, warmth and experience while working thoughtfully within budget constraints.

We are grateful to have worked alongside: Unknown Works⁠, Hunter’s Daughter (Joanne Hunter), Float Structures, Charcoalblue, Studio 3Sixty, Jackson Coles LLP

Although very different projects, both demonstrate how lighting can meaningfully shape experience. We are grateful to be shortlisted and proud to see so many fantastic projects and talented teams recognised alongside us this year.

Congratulations to everyone shortlisted, and best of luck to all.
