MWA are delighted to be working on another project which forms part of a Grade I Listed John Nash terrace in the prestigious Regent’s Park Conservation Area. The property has a rich history and was formerly the home of science fiction novelist H.G. Wells. This is the fifth property to be undertaken by MWA on Regent’s Park in the past two years.

We are working closely with the local planning authority to create a contemporary family home for our Clients, whilst ensuring that the heritage asset is preserved and improved. Proposals include sensitive internal alterations to accommodate a new study, gym, kitchen and breakfast area, along with an exciting new glazed rear extension designed to enhance and reveal the historical features and appearance of the existing property.

MWA are pleased to announce that Tim Blackwell has become an Associate Director.

Tim joined MWA in 2011 after he qualified from University College Dublin in 2009 after previously studying at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and gained extensive educational, residential and commercial experience in Ireland. Tim became an Associate in 2016 and since then has played a key role in the management team at MWA leading many complex developments from inception to completion across all design stages.

Landscaping and sustainable design are driving aspects of Tim’s approach to architecture having grown up in the Irish countryside. Through projects such as Kings Cross Road, he has delivered high quality and truly sustainable architecture which look to bring natural habitat back to our urban environment and improve the quality of our built environment internally and externally.

Tim has worked across a wide range of sectors, leading a mix of large scale commercial, healthcare, heritage and residential projects including Grade I Listed Diorama, Grade II Listed Westminster House, Kings Cross Road, Hurlingham Road, Bartholomew Place, Fulham Care Home, Brentford Delivery Office, and William Court. We are delighted for Tim and anticipate his continued success here at MWA.

After being approached in early 2016 to prepare proposals for a new-build office space in King’s Cross, MWA are happy to see another project reach practical completion. The project has been an important test case for MWA in the integration of architecture and the environment together, to deliver buildings which aid the well-being of their occupants and the wider urban context. With the current era of ‘working from home’ highlighting the need for nature and biodiversity in our lives, this project will see the implementation of a huge internal planting scheme for the benefit of its occupants. The end result will stand testament to the project having such a courageous and dedicated client team. The internal planting fit-out will complete in July.
