Bringing new life into Garden Square Shopping Centre and creating a vibrant, attractive destination at the heart of Letchworth.
A design inspired by the Garden City principles — balancing nature, architecture, and community — to create a development that complements the town’s unique character.
Providing well-designed, modern homes in a central and sustainable location, helping meet local housing demand.
Introducing new retail and commercial spaces that better reflect current shopping and leisure trends that will support local businesses.
Creating new public realm and landscaped areas, with a welcoming pedestrian thoroughfare that encourages movement, connection, and social activity.
Incorporating energy-efficient design, green spaces, and modern building standards to create a development that’s environmentally responsible.
Supporting the local economy through construction and long-term employment opportunities within the new shops, cafés, and businesses.
Opening up the site to improve pedestrian routes through the town centre, making it easier and more pleasant to move around.
Transforming an underperforming site into a high-quality development that will serve the community for decades to come.
Delivering a distinctive, welcoming environment where people can live, shop, and spend time — reinforcing Letchworth’s identity as a thriving Garden City.
Together, this redevelopment will help secure Garden Square’s future as a greener, livelier, and more connected part of Letchworth Garden City.
Our vision is to create a welcoming, vibrant space that feels truly part of Letchworth. The redevelopment will breathe new life into the town centre, making better use of this important site to provide high-quality homes and spaces for local shops, cafés, and community uses.
Inspired by the Garden City’s founding principles, the design will balance architecture and nature — introducing greenery, open spaces, and materials that reflect Letchworth’s distinctive character. Warm brickwork, thoughtful detailing, and a timeless design approach will help the new buildings sit comfortably alongside the town’s historic architecture while offering something fresh and contemporary.
The development will be designed with care, ensuring it looks and feels welcoming from all angles. The building’s proportions and detailing will be shaped to create a sense of scale and familiarity, helping it feel right at home within the heart of Letchworth.
This redevelopment represents a unique opportunity to strengthen Garden Square’s role as a lively town centre destination — a place that reflects Letchworth’s heritage while looking confidently to the future.
