Spheron Architects has won a competition to remodel the square outside Will Alsop’s Stirling Prize-winning Peckham Library.
The architect, which has offices in Clapham and Accra, Ghana, beat a shortlist of three emerging practices to land the £6m Peckham Square project.
Southwark council was heavily criticised last year for putting together a 110-strong architecture framework worth £500m with almost no BAME-led practices, despite a quarter of the borough’s residents identifying as black. A revised framework is due out this spring.
