Our architects are working with Vastint, IKEA’s development arm on the Olympic site in Stratford, designing homes for the future. This important addition to the Olympic legacy brings 211 affordable homes within a mix of tenures.

We’re definitely no strangers to winning awards here at Hunters – here’s an illustration of the many different kinds of awards we’ve won and been commended for over the past few years….

Nestled between listed buildings, The Exchange is Aylesbury’s first purpose-built mixed-use scheme. Flats, shops, restaurants and a new ‘town square’ serve the local community and visitors to entertainment and arts venues in town.

The vision of simplicity and elegance takes hints from the historical courts and lodgings. In keeping with the charm of the town, the project is expected to finish in Spring.

The EA teams new extra-care development has 53 one and two bedroom self contained flats with a range of supporting dementia-friendly facilities. Easy access to shops and services, the popular scheme is part of Barnet’s wider housing development programme which will see over 700 new homes built on council owned land.

Hunters masterplan and design of the complicated Copley Estate in West London has won a range of awards.

1. Best Conceptual Project at the London Planning Awards

3. Best First-Time Buyer Home at the London Evening Standard New Homes Awards
4. Best Show Home at the First Time Buyer’s Awards

It’s great for the whole project team to get the recognition this transformative design sets out to do.

As part of Hunters’ business strategy and staff development programme, our Architecture and Building Consultancy sectors have promoted nine employees within the practice. Also, the new position of ‘Associate’ has been created as part of the change.

Going for Gold and collecting a world record? With our clients, OSJCT, we are leading the way in dementia design, striving for excellence.

The Dementia Centre, part of Stirling University, has awarded us GOLD for The Lakes and GOLD for Goodson Lodge with the highest score ever recorded – 98%.

We care about dementia and we care about design, it’s great to see that being recognised.

Good dementia design is unlikely to hit you when you walk into a care home as it’s not a visual statement, but a way of working through the different solutions to age-related, cognitive impairment.

Our Healthcare Team is celebrating a double win having received planning permission for the refurbishment of the Haematology Clinic in Kingston Hospital and The Froud Centre, a new GP with a community centre in Manor Park, Newham.

Every estate and housing scheme in the country has different needs, different challenges and the people who live there have different experiences to draw upon.

As an architect, it is all too easy to approach the project and “think you know everything about design”. It’s actually about the people who live there and the use of space around them. Those who have the history and experience are the ones who can really help inform and be part of the journey to a fuller and more fruitful design solution.
