#DarcAwards
A new public green heart for Wembley, now shortlisted for an award!
We’re delighted to share that hashtag#UnionPark, UK has been shortlisted for the darc awards 2025 in the category:
> SPACES
Union Park, UK
Quintain Limited | Haworth Tompkins | SISK Group | LDA Design | FLANAGAN LAWRENCE | GRID Architects | Buro Happold | Gross Max Landscape

#Wembley Park’s first major public green space in over 150 years, Union Park was designed to feel safe, welcoming and connected to nature from day into night.

Our lighting approach balances people, ecology and sensory experience  through a clear layered hierarchy:
• Calm, low-level pathway lighting
• Accents that reveal texture and forms, and create human-scale visual experiences
• Playful and theatrical touches within key features

A livelier southern zone supports higher activity and urban experiences.

A more organic northern zone focuses on biodiversity and preserves darkness.

Carefully controlled, dark-sky conscious, and community-driven. The lighting helps the park remain vibrant whilst blending with the landscape.

Congratulations to all teams involved 👏
