mæ has been selected, with partners Karakusevic Carson Architects, to draw up a masterplan and prepare an outline planning application for the regeneration of the Colville Estate in Hackney. Working closely with residents and the London Borough of Hackney we are designing a scheme that re-integrates the estate into the wider neighbourhood and offers high quality housing and public spaces.

mæ is participating in two LFA events: Designs on London: who’s driving what gets built and how can we do it better? This event, sponsored by the HCA, will shine a light on the most influential forces on housing design in the capital. We have also been working with the Danish Embassy and Design for London developing a seminar on planning for sustainable cities, Learning from Copenhagen: Shaping London's growth in the East. Partner Alex Ely will be joining the panel discussions at both of these events on Tuesday 29 June. 

As the residential sector recovers and Boris Johnson looks likely to be handed control of London's £1.1 billion housing budget, the NLA is bringing together the leading players to review the latest thinking on design, funding and delivery. Partner Alex Ely will be speaking at this conference taking place on the 8th June. Further event details.

mæ has been appointed to lead a series of Design Awareness Training seminars for the Homes and Communities Agency. Initially aimed at the HCA's East of England team and followed by the East Midlands it is part of a programme that we are working on with CABE to roll out across the HCA regions. Seminars will cover design management, procurement and stewardship of the built environment.
