A plaster model of our West Hendon project. A mix of 15 new, affordable and private dual aspect townhouses, accessed from the north with large south facing private gardens. The design negotiates steep topography on the edge of the Welsh Harp reservoir. The London Borough of Barnet, in partnership with Barratt Metropolitan LLP, are delivering the regeneration of the West Hendon Estate. @alliesandmorrison are leading the master plan, with Mikhail Riches and @makowerarchitects taken on to work on areas of phase 4. .

Phase 2 of the Park Hill regeneration will begin later this year. Our selection for the project followed a novel, unique and challenging competition by @weareurbansplash . We were loaned a flat to transform and present our proposals on why they should work with us. We spent much of our time not doing anything to the flat. Instead, we got under the skin of Park Hill – meeting the agents selling phase 1, studying plans, reading architecture critiques form the ’60s, completing drawings and making our large 1:20 scale model (see our grid). At the end of the two weeks, and inspired by the graffiti of the local ‘I Love You Bridge’ we spray painted our designs onto the flat walls, even integrating the Winnie the Pooh stickers we found on the walls of the child’s bedroom into our sketches – giving them a new lease of life. In Park Hill we loved working with what we found. .

This shot is of our recent trip to #parkhill flats – a #sheffield icon. Widely known to be a success initially, the flats fell into decline as steel and coal industries simultaneously closed in the area. Later saved by English Heritage – it’s now the largest listed building in Europe. We’ll begin work here later this year – continuing the regeneration which began after @weareurbansplash teamed up with @sheffieldcitycouncil to bring the flats back into use. It follows on from the highly successful, and Stirling Prize nominated, phase 1, completed by @hawkins_brown and @egretwest (Swipe 👉🏻)

Earlier this week, work began on our project in #tiverton #devon for #3riversdevelopments . We were the winners of a competition to design housing on a unique and extraordinary site next to the River Exe, which is also overlooked by a series of listed buildings. The project, which went on to win a housing design award earlier this year, is an opportunity to ‘complete’ an important piece of the town with a design that compliments the historic surroundings.

Our model of Heathfield Gardens – a project for @bxbdevelopment . It is part of the Croydon Smaller Sites programme that will deliver 1,000 new homes – both social and private – in the London Borough of Croydon. They’ll be developed on a number of disparate sites that are individually complex, each requiring bespoke TLC. Overall, the programme for Brick by Brick, which involves a collaboration between eight architectural practices – including Mikhail Riches, was a winner at this year’s Housing Design Awards. .

This image, from the project: ‘Inn-Stitution: A 21st Century Inn’ by Katrina Duncan, Mikhail Riches, was recently part of the @lsofarch exhibition in the Blueprint for the Future show in Clerkenwell. The Inn-Stituion project by Katrina explored a form of shared living in Central London. It draws upon the historic typology of the London Inn to accommodate long term residents and visitors or guests alike. The existing garden square is re-imagined as a focal public space or garden lobby around which a network of courtyards form a neighbourhood of dwellings and local amenities. .
