JPW were originally commissioned in 2001 to prepare a Site Development Plan for the AWM to control the future development of the grounds. We were then commissioned to design the Western Courtyard, which was completed in 2001.

The project involved consulting with several ex-service interest groups such as the British Commonwealth Overseas Forces (BCOF) and Anne Ferguson, the artist commissioned to complete the Women’s Services Memorial (WSM). In 2004 JPW was commissioned to redesign the Parade ground area in front of the Memorial and this work was completed in late 2004 in time for the Remembrance Day celebrations.
