Following a design competition by the Earls Court Development Company (ECDC) in the summer of 2022, ACME are delighted to be appointed as plot architect working on the former Earls Court Exhibition Centre site. ACME will re-create a sense of wonder and arrival from Earl’s Court Station by deliver a signature office building at the key entrance to the site on Warwick Road in Kensington & Chelsea.

We will be working alongside the masterplanner team of Hawkins/Brown, Studio Egret West and SLA as well as a number of other architects. Closed to the public for 150 years, the first phase of the development will create a new east-west public route across the site, a generous public open space, new homes and rich mix of cultural spaces and workplaces. The Planning Application is due to be submitted in 2023, with construction to commence in 2025.

Network Rail Property has announced it is to bring forward new plans to redevelop Britain’s busiest station, London Liverpool Street, to transform the customer experience.

It’s time the station becomes a destination in its own right, to handle the demands of the future.

London Liverpool Street station is a major transport hub connecting well over 100 million people a year within London and the southeast, with passengers forecast to grow to over 140 million a year by 2050.

• New toilets, including family facilities on all levels of the station. 

• New landmark entrances on Liverpool Street, Bishopsgate and Exchange Square.
