C&D team meeting
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love to work in new and creative places, always on the move and not confined to a single place of work. As developers we are always working all across London / Home Counties, every day looking at new opportunities and having meetings on our current projects. Wherever we are, nothing beats huddling around a laptop and discussing all things C&D 💻 Especially when a cold beer is involved... 🍻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beauty of this is that every day is different, and we get to have our meetings at our favourite members clubs, restaurants and cafes all over London…📍

We recently secured planning permission for a new build housing building in East London, working with our architects and planning consultants
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The scheme will provide 2 high quality dwellings, one of which will be a duplex
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The building is conceived as a cascade of robust volumes providing a generous quantum of external amenity terrace space for its users. The upper duplex is accessed via external steps that reference villa typologies nearby. The architectural language and external materials respond to a rich and varied surrounding context to give the building a unique and characterful identity of its own
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We firmly believe that the careful and design focused development of small urban sites such as this one is key to the sustainable delivery of homes in the capital, and that new buildings should reflect not only their place and setting but also the time they are built in
