Welcome to Mae

Both Harriet Hardy House and Daventry House have been Commended in the NLA Awards 2024.

Supported by the Mayor of London, the New London Awards celebrate all scale of projects, from community-led to large-scale mixed-use developments, both built and unbuilt, that contribute to the creation of a more sustainable, civilised, and egalitarian London.

The New London Awards were presented during our Annual Lunch at Guildhall on Thursday 21 November.

We are pleased to be a founder member of 'Architects' Action for Affordable Housing'

A good home is the foundation everyone should enjoy, a human right that too many are living without. As architects we recognise the role we can play in helping to improve housing through design, planning and advocacy. We have come together to demand that the next government do better. We are calling for positive change that will take a collective effort to achieve. Please join our campaign. Follow the link below.

Our Director Alex Ely has been profiled in Building magazine and BD online. In an interview with Ben Flatman he explores the evolution and future of the practice, working at the scale of the city to the room. He reflects on his influences from education, from his time and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment and on the role architects can have in civic society.

Founder Director Alex Ely has been interviewed for Studio International magazine.

Studio was first published in April 1893 under the title The Studio: An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art. It rapidly established itself as one of the most successful fine art periodicals in the English-speaking world.

Among others, it featured the work of the illustrator Aubrey Beardsley and the architects Charles Rennie Mackintosh and CFA Voysey.

In the interview with Veronica Simpson, Alex explores the secret to making buildings that other architects admire and envy, but which are dedicated to the greater good.
