The full range of PTEa’s experience tends to converge in our work on town centre regeneration, combining public realm design with the provision of homes, community facilities and employment space.

Such projects are also increasingly leading us into retail design, which is a relatively new sector for the practice: we are advising local authorities and developers on the integration of small and large shops (including supermarkets) into complex urban sites, combined with new housing developments and major public realm improvements.

Current projects include: An entire new urban district, Central Chelmsford, the mix-used redevelopment of a former University campus to provide retail, office, community and residential accommodation in Essex; a new civic hub and market place for Deptford Town Centre; a shopping centre and apartment development set above a transport
interchange in Tottenham; remodelling part of Walthamstow’s retail centre with new shops, bars and a cinema; conversion of a listed mill and new retail and residential accommodation as part of the developing masterplan for Cambridge train station.
