Welcome to Mae

This comprehensive and fully illustrated book describes more than 50 projects that have been built in Southwark in the new millennium, and features Mæ's Harriet Hardy House. Mæ's extra-care housing scheme is including alongside such well-known landmarks as the extension to Tate Modern, the Shard and the redeveloped London Bridge station, as well as diverse social, cultural, healthcare and education projects.

The renowned architecture writer and critic Kenneth Powell continues the story of one of Britain's most dynamic and successful areas of regeneration. While this architectural and urban renaissance – which began in the 1980s – is evident most publicly along the south bank of the Thames, it extends through the borough, from Walworth to Peckham and from Bermondsey to Dulwich. Its impact can be seen in the creation of cultural venues, the revival of industrial spaces for residential and commercial use and shared working, and the generation of a wealth of stunning new – and already iconic – projects.

Our Agar Grove project is featured in ‘Dual Cities – Social Housing in London + New York’ – a new RIBA book supported by AIA New York Chapter, authored by Paul Karakusevic and Mike Althorpe. The book also includes an essay by Director Alex Ely 'London Dwelling Standards- Enabling the Equitable City'.

The book explores social housing design and delivery through the parallel experiences of London and New York

Opening up a new global dialogue and offering a practical guide to the past, present and future of housing, Dual Cities features commentary pieces from experts on both sides of the Atlantic unlocking policy and delivery mechanisms and includes 40 illustrated historic and contemporary housing case studies from a range of practices in both cities.

Mæ Associate Payal Ceurvels has been invited to join the judging panel for this year's 'Inside Housing Development Awards'.

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. With governments across the UK focused on increasing delivery, the Inside Housing Development Awards flag the schemes and teams crucial to success: delivering quality, sustainable housing and transforming communities.

Director Alex Ely will be speaking at the 'Sustainable Development X Urban Conservation' conference on Thursday 27th March. The event will explore innovative and practical approaches which demonstrate how urban conservation and sustainable development can work in harmony to improve places for people and planet.

Sustainable development and the need for growth need practical reconciliation. Conservation and responsible management must be balanced against affordability, and the ongoing requirements of growth and renewal. Alex will explore how doughnut economy principles can align with urban development.
