Urban Spaces
FROM DULL walls …
into THRIVING communitIES
A partnership approach to urban health and regeneration.
We work alongside local authorities, developers, and BIDs to design, install, and activate inclusive play spaces that improve physical health, mental health, and community wellbeing.
Why It Matters
Cities move fast, but too many people stand still.
1Wall reclaims public space for movement and connection - boosting mental health, reducing inactivity, and bringing sport, creativity, and community back into our cities.
From Design,
to activation,
To Legacy
We co-design with local partners, run public activations with coaches and artists, and build
long-term community ownership.
We make sure that the wall… BELONGS
Case Studies

Bankside
Nestled next to Borough Market is Marlborough Sports Garden. Here we built our first full size community wall. It featured on the BBC and ITV, and had a simple vending machine for balls on site. The art evokes the London skyline and the court is free to use every day by anyone.

Canada Water
A tentpole project with British Land where we converted dead space on the side of a shopping centre (non-traditional sporting space but with high traffic) into a colourful, vibrant, welcoming sport facility, complete with community designed walls and floors, a vending machine and lockers on site, and information about the community. The walls are multi-use and were frequent used for both 1Wall, tennis, jump rope, a lunchtime hangout and much more.

Fleet Street Quarter
We worked with the Fleet Street Quarter BID for their summer of sport to pop-up a mini 1Wall court and engage local people and office-workers. Sessions were manned each day with competitions, leader-boards, Team GB photos and more. We aimed to create healthier happier workplaces, encourage donations to the charity and we’ve even donated the wall to a primary school.
