JA Projects wins Low Line co-design job

Working with landscape architects BBUK to deliver the project, JA Projects will design a series of ‘welcoming and inclusive’ new public spaces featuring planters, seating, cycle facilities, new entrance designs, street furniture and signage along Wardens Grove, America Street and Ewer Street.

The Low Line project aims to boost accessibility and promote local businesses ‘while keeping post-pandemic living in mind’ and ‘protecting and complementing the myriad current uses of the immense Victorian infrastructure’.

Jayden Ali (JA Projects Director) said:

‘Never before in the history of our city has the space between buildings been more important. Never before have ideas such as connected pockets of public space been so critical to the economic success of London and the health of its population.'

Donald Hyslop, chair of the Low Line group and Better Bankside said:

‘As we enter this important time of recovery and renewal we know that social value, respect for heritage, local feelings and partnerships can bring profits in many forms. In JA Projects we are delighted to have found a partner who is as committed to co-design and partnerships as we are. Their passionate approach to creating places alongside the people that will use them will be a very welcome addition as part of the Low Line team.’
