We show that if a three dimensional normed space X has two linearly independent smooth points e and f such that every two-dimensional subspace containing e or f is the range of a nonexpansive projection then X is isometrically isomorphic to ℓp(3) for some p, 1 < p ≤ ∞. This leads to a characterisation of the Banach spaces c0 and ℓp, 1 < p ≤ ∞, and a characterisation of real Hilbert spaces.
