HTA have successfully been shortlisted in 4 categories in this year’s NLA Awards.
The Queen Elizebeth II Garden has been shortlisted in the Public Spaces category. Designed by HTA for The Royal Park, the garden is a radical exemplar of sustainability and resilience, transforming a two-acre former store yard into a biodiverse, climate-adaptive public landscape. Opening a previously inaccessible part of the park, the design pays tribute to the late Queen by referencing her life through structural symbolism and curated planting.
Sutton Estate has been shortlisted in the Retrofit category. Built in 1913, it was a pioneering social housing development reflecting William Sutton’s vision of providing quality homes for those in need. HTA and Clarion’s decision to retain and modernise the estate, rather than demolish it, was widely welcomed by residents and the local community. The retrofit preserved its historic fabric while creating an inclusive, multigenerational environment.
3 & 15 West Lane has been shortlisted in the Retail and Hospitality category. Designed by HTA Design for Canary Wharf Group, contributes to the growing buzz and evolving character of the Wood Wharf neighbourhood. These two new buildings deliver a dynamic aparthotel, offering flexible accommodation alongside ground-floor commercial space.
Union square has been shortlisted in the Meanwhile Activation category. Located in Wood Wharf, Canary Wharf’s newest neighbourhood, the temporary public space unlocks a previously inaccessible part of the estate. The activation is designed to increase footfall, generate interest and introduce biodiversity, greenery and wellness initiatives to the Wood Wharf masterplan over the next 10 years.
Huge congratulations to everyone involved and we are looking forward to the prestigious lunch at the Great Hall at Guildhall in November.
