Journal – Mikhail Riches

The @nlalondon recently produced a report entitled Public Housing: A London Renaissance – addressing how local authorities are making better use of public land. It mentions the award winning Croydon Small Sites programme by @bxbdevelopment – which we’re part of alongside a team of architects. All three of our projects are on site & progressing well. We’ve talked about this and the report in our latest monthly roundup – which you can access on our twitter page, and website. Inside you’ll find a host of other updates too – from using Minecraft to engage students in planning, to what we’re most looking forward to at the London Festival of Architecture. .

Throwback to our Clay Field work – our RIBA competition winning project in Elmswell, Suffolk. A project that combined sustainable strategies for construction, lifetime energy use, landscaping and the way we live day to day. Great to see this project mentioned in the @practicepublic publication: Growing Villages – discussing how village growth should be shaped in rural areas, with findings and recommendations drawn from Cambridgeshire, an area we know well from our National Infrastructure Commission winning VeloCity proposal for the Cambridge – Oxford corridor, exploring ideas that integrated place-making & new infrastructure – without dependence on cars.

So delighted to be awarded a @riba #ribaeast award yesterday. It was also an incredible bonus to pick up a #sustainability award too – in special recognition of our approach to Goldsmith Street. Finally – our client @norwichcitycouncil were named Client of the Year. It’s been a privilege to work with this visionary client.
There were 42 shortlisted projects – and the evening was a celebration of great buildings and design. Jury chair Jon Greenfield commented on these ‘thought-provoking schemes, which will act as exemplars for future new build and refurbishment projects across the country’ as well as the importance of recognising zero and low carbon design.
