We are thrilled to report that we have been named Public and Social Housing Architect of the Year at the BD Awards!

It means a lot to us this year as we celebrate our 50th birthday. More so, given when we started out in 1974 our first jobs centred on refurbishing and converting terraced housing into flats for social housing tenants.

Our award submission focused on four London projects: Dover Court, our RIBA Award-winning council infill housing on a post-war estate; King Square, a mixed-tenure development that serves as a case study for the Happy Homes social value toolkit; a retrofit of the 1930s-built Barnsbury Estate and 240 homes right by the famous Brutalist landmark, Brixton Rec.

The judges said: “This practice demonstrates a strong commitment to people-centred architecture with an environmental focus and a deep engagement with end users.”

Huge thanks to BD and their amazing panel of judges, and a huge thanks to all our colleagues at PTE, for their tireless dedication to social housing design.
