We’re excited to share that Cotton Park has been shortlisted for the 2025 Dezeen Awards in the Mixed Use category!

This project is a testament to how urban regeneration can transform forgotten industrial sites into vibrant, meaningful places, creating new layers of life where culture, leisure, and nature intersect. We believe projects like this show how architecture can elevate cities and create positive social impact, turning underused spaces into catalysts for connection and community.

It’s an honour to be shortlisted alongside so many inspiring studios and ideas. We wish the best of luck to all the talented participants!
