Creating Housing for Local Authorities – It’s here!

Time to introduce our new 2025 brochure ‘Homes for Your Local Community’ – created primarily for Local Authorities who have the challenging task of delivering 1.5million homes.

This publication showcases our housing projects, expertise, and collaborative approach in designing and delivering public sector housing across London and the South.

Homes for your local community brochure

Get in Touch

We’ve included a range of projects to demonstrate our deep understanding of place, community, and long-term value – from the Cotswolds and shire counties to thriving commuter belts, suburbs, bustling inner cities, and strategic edge-of-town sites.

Aim

It is Hunters’ 70th year, and as a well-established practice of Architects, Building Consultants and more recently, Structural Engineers, we have a proven track record in delivering sustainable high-quality housing and community infrastructures at scale.

Our work is aligned with national housing priorities, working with local authorities, housing associations, developers and contractors in the delivery of affordable, inclusive and mixed-tenure neighbourhoods that respond to both current and future community needs.

Our aim is always to:

Create places for spaces to thrive.

A Strategic, Collaborative Approach

In the face of growing demands on local government – from housing shortages and climate resilience to constrained budgets – we remain focused on practical, design-led solutions that drive positive outcomes. We work together with local authorities, housing associations, development partners and end users to shape vibrant homes that contribute meaningfully to wider place-making goals.
