Spark:York is an outdoor community space, home to some of York’s most exciting start-ups working in food, retail, arts and social enterprise.
Our team created pop up landscape proposals and supported throughout the delivery of this inspirational, ambitious project.
The concept illustrates how a derelict site earmarked for longer term regeneration can be brought into positive ‘Meanwhile Use’ and it has become a landmark destination in York City Centre.
In 2025 we celebrated the opening of Olive Lane, which was delivered by Harworth Group at their flagship Waverley development in Yorkshire. Olive Lane is the ‘heart of the community’ with a vision to join together the Advanced Manufacturing Park and residential development at Waverley, through high quality commercial, community and residential uses. Our public realm and landscape design helps create a vibrant, welcoming, community focused place, featuring the high street, a central plaza and pocket parks. The launch event was attended by over 1,000 Waverley residents, which brought the street to life.
"PWP Design delivered an extensive and inspiring design guide and sketch design, transcending our own expectations of what was possible with our limited budget. Simon Hall's knowledge, enthusiasm and ever-present support has been a breath of fresh air and we are extremely thankful for his contribution to the project."
