we believe our work should have a lasting and positive impact
Our principle is to help our clients get the most out of their land and buildings in a healthy and sustainable way. We like to undertake meaningful engagement work – from individual self-builders and home-improvers to commercial developers, cooperative groups and civic institutions.

We've just received planning permission for one of our residential projects in Woking, Surrey!
A collaboration between architect, client, and contractor, the project reflects our commitment to sustainable and thoughtful design. The proposal involves a sensitive refurbishment and extension, creating a high-quality, modern family home while respecting the existing building.
MAP Director Rob Mawson was part of the judging panel at this year's British Home Awards.
"It has been a real joy to be a Judge for the BHA this year. I have found it rewarding to review such inspirational projects and the discourse within the judging panel was insightful and has given me perspective that would have been hard to gain without this experience." (Rob)
Delighted to find that Creek Cabin has been shortlisted for East Suffolk Council's Quality of Place Awards 2024!
So much of Creek Cabin's design intent was to fit in with its surroundings and contribute to enhancing the visual and ecological landscape. We are therefore extremely happy to have the project locally recognised through this award.
Our sustainable retrofit for a multigenerational family home in Sydenham has been featured as Project of the Month in Build It magazine!
The retrofit of the mid-century detached property involved the integration of a ground air source heat pump to provide heating and hot water throughout the home, and a largely timber structure which minimises environmental impact. The landscaping was also a key element of this 'urban oasis', with careful consideration given to the surrounding flora and fauna.
Inspired by the surrounding Arts and Crafts style, we've created a contemporary take on the area’s iconic cat slide and hipped roofs.
Sustainable design was key to the brief, with important sustainable features being introduces: Air Source Heat Pump, PV Panels, Passivhaus Principles for exceptional energy efficiency, rich biodiverse landscaping to enhance local ecology and car-free development promoting sustainable urban living.
We are so pleased to have won a recent public tender for the restoration of a trio of Grade II Listed Buildings for the iconic Newtown Railway Works, Ashford.
This is a fantastic win for us as a practice and we are so very excited to begin work on the three spaces. Our goal is to breathe new life into the buildings while staying true to their heritage and making them fit for the future.
Delighted to receive planning approval for external upgrades and internal refurbishments to the Almeida Theatre Rehearsal Rooms in Islington!
Located in the Upper Street Conservation Area, the improvements will address key issues with thermal comfort, energy efficiency and accessibility, while maintaining the character of the building. It is very exciting working with the Almeida team on this project to ensure the longevity of the existing building, and the production activities of the theatre.
Our Grade II listed retrofit of 36 high quality apartments for private sale is nearly complete!
This project has involved careful balancing of heritage and environmental aspirations to achieve excellent energy and sustainability standards on a listed building. It's been great to see both these features coming together on site and we're very excited to see the space in use soon.
James, Architect at MAP, has recently started the “Design for Life? Fire safety and building resilience” course at the London School of Architecture.
The course responds to the professional, moral and ethical imperative of all architects and practitioners in the building industry to equip themselves with the latest fire, health and life safety knowledge. The course will also provide the opportunity to investigate the new Principal Designer roles under the Building Safety Act and understand how these duties impact on the work we do as a practice.
This carefully crafted space serves as a welcoming introduction to the school, establishing an activated frontage that elevates the arrival experience. We've prioritised the use of sustainable materials and adopted a low-carbon approach throughout the design.
Congratulations to MAP Architecture partner and director Rob Mawson for becoming a RIBA Conservation Registrant! Rob has 10 years experience working on heritage conversation projects, including sensitive residential retrofits in conservation areas, mixed use developments and Listed school buildings.
