Welcome to Mae

We have received a successful planning decision for Shrublands, one of our three estate infill projects for Brick by Brick Development. The projects are part of Croydon Council’s Smaller Sites programme to deliver 1,000 new homes within the borough.

Our Shrublands scheme creates 26 sustainable homes at 100% affordable rent. The three new residential buildings sit as pavilions sensitive to their existing context, with full width balconies that offer generous amenity spaces positioned for sunlight and views.

A shortlisting at the Brick Awards 2018 adds to the list of recent accolades for our Brentford Lock West Block E project. Our Phase 2 scheme uses brick to create a building of mass and presence and has been recognised for an award in the Large Housing Development category.

Taking a simple yet robust attitude towards materials and detailing, we selected an earthy palette of brick that provides depth and character as well as complementing both the historic setting and materials from Phase 1 of the development.

The Brick Awards are run by the Brick Development Association and showcases the very best examples of clay brick in the UK's built environment. Results will be announced at an Awards ceremony on the 8th of November 2018.

We’re absolutely delighted that our Sands End Arts and Community Centre has won at the New London Awards 2018. Our win is recognised in the unbuilt section of the Culture & Community category at the awards which seeks to champion the best examples of civic projects for local residents and international visitors.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our collaborators on this project, especially to the local community in Hammersmith & Fulham, of whom our Centre will primarily serve.

We will be attending a symposium for an exhibition of ideas for the future of the Cambridge – Oxford growth corridor at the Transport Systems Catapult this month. 

Ideas were developed in response to a national competition run by the National Infrastructure Commission. We worked alongside One Works, AKT II, Max Fordham and Planit-IE on our proposals, which integrates placemaking and infrastructure to develop a city Campus model that can house 250,000 people in 12 clusters, within a range of densities along the corridor.

The exhibition shares our big idea, alongside others shortlisted, and will be open to all from the 5th of July.

We're really happy to be part of the winning team at the Housing Design Awards 2018. Our win is a great combined effort from all collaborators on the Croydon Smaller Sites Programme including Mikhail Riches, Coffey Architects, Pitman Tozer Architects, stitch and vPPR Architects, alongside facilitators Brick by Brick Development and Common Ground Architecture. 

The Croydon Smaller Sites Programme features our Kingsdown Avenue project (pictured) which draws on neighbouring typologies to create a scheme with a modest character, carved into the grassy hillside.
