Designers 'honoured' after being chosen for Grenfell memorial

FREEHAUS SAYS IT WORKS 'WITH EMPATHY'

- 

THE design team chosen to create a memorial to the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire said they are honoured to take up the task and that it is “a responsibility that we do not take lightly”.

London and Oxfordshire-based Freehaus describes itself as a firm which works “with empathy”.

It was chosen from a shortlist of five and will work with bereaved and survivor families, as well as the local community, to produce a final design which is expected to be announced in mid-2027.

The Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission has been consulting on plans for a permanent memorial in the area of the tower, with previously reported recommendations including a “sacred space”, designed to be a “peaceful place for remembering and reflecting”.
