Welcome to Mae

For over 50 years, these regional awards have championed and celebrated the UK's best architecture with a commitment to design and create buildings and spaces that enhance people's lives. We are delighted that Noele Gordon House, our later living housing scheme and health centre, for London Borough of Newham and Populo Living, has been shortlisted.

All projects shortlisted for RIBA Awards will be visited by a regional jury, and the winning projects will be announced in May.

Our proposals for the West Kentish Town Estate in the London Borough of Camden has won planning consent. Mæ has designed phase 1, receiving detailed consent for 52 homes. The project, for Camden Council, sits within the wider estate masterplan designed by AHMM which received outline planning consent for 856 new homes, and will be delivered over 20 years. The scheme replaces outdated blocks with safe, modern, energy-efficient, family-sized homes, with access to new outdoor play and open spaces. Existing residents will be rehoused in the new development and it has been planned in a way that allows phased regeneration ensuring they only have to move once.

The estate regeneration was subject to a resident ballot in 2020, when 85 per cent of residents voted with 93 per cent of votes cast in favour. Now the masterplan has received outline approval, it will be referred to the Mayor of London for consultation before a final sign-off.

Noele Gordon House has been named 'Best supported housing development' at the Inside Housing Development Awards 2025. The Inside Housing Development Awards celebrate the UK’s most outstanding residential developments over the past year, highlighting the innovation and resilience driving the sector forward.
