Works complete on Grade II listed Royal Arsenal Gatehouse
We recently completed work on Royal Arsenal Gatehouse in Woolwich – reopening this historic gateway to the public for the first time in 30 years.
Won through invited competition in November 2021. Proposals for the Grade II listed Royal Arsenal Gatehouse in Woolwich were developed for the Greenwich Enterprise Board and the Royal Borough of Greenwich working in collaboration with LDA, Studio Weave and Turner Works. The project has been delivered as a part of wider proposals funded by the Future High Streets Fund and Woolwich’s Heritage Action Zone.
Built in 1828–9, the Gatehouse has witnessed nearly two centuries of change. When Plumstead Road was constructed in the 1970s, the building became separated from the Royal Arsenal, and security concerns eventually closed the ground floor to public access in the 1990s.
Our proposal introduces a protective ‘baldacchino’ structure through the centre of the building – a carefully considered intervention that balances security for the building’s inhabitants with the restoration of public passage through the original gateway.
