ECE Architecture

Another great result for the team at ECE Architecture and ECE Planning, with planning approval secured for a bespoke residential development in Cuckfield, East Sussex. Thanks to Sigma Homes Group and all the consultants involved!

Last month, ECE Architecture and ECE Planning received planning approval for a new bespoke residential development in Cuckfield, East Sussex. Our design team had a vision for Hanlye Lane to revolve around the natural beauty of the South Downs National Park, while seamlessly merging with the existing village. The design takes inspiration from traditional oust houses and frames important views, while the central green spine further celebrates the site’s location. With a focus on sustainability and a deep understanding of the local context, ECE Architecture has worked closely with the client, Sigma Homes Group, and ECE Planning to create a development that merges traditional architectural elements with contemporary design.

Reserved Matters approval has been granted for Westwood Village, which will introduce 449 homes and create a sustainable expansion west of Haine Road in Ramsgate. Working with the client Riverside, we created a design that emphasises a central open space surrounded by landscaped recreational areas, green corridors, and informal planting. These corridors provide connections for walking and cycling and support biodiversity, while also including play areas to promote outdoor activities. Westwood Village blends high-quality architecture with thoughtfully integrated green spaces, delivering a vibrant and sustainable living environment that enhances the character of the area. Thank you to the whole team for getting this approval!

In 2024, our team dedicated over 560 hours to delivering social value. This included mentoring students, providing pro bono support to charities, and engaging with local schools and universities to share our knowledge of architecture and planning. These efforts helped us raise over £10,000 for Chestnut Tree House and Spinal Research and provided meaningful experiences for young people exploring careers in the built environment. As we start a new year, we want to extend a big thank you to our social value champions for driving these initiatives and to the entire team for their time, effort, and passion. We are proud of the impact this work has had on the people and communities around us.

Our project on Gilda Avenue in Enfield is starting to take shape.   ECE is working with the main contractor Glenman Corporation Ltd., to deliver 48 apartments and one house in Enfield, North London. The whole project will be affordable housing and transform a former council housing site, featuring three striking building blocks when finished.   Associate Samuel Musgrave went on site last week to check the progress now that the pre-cast concrete frame is complete.    The frame is now being clad with brickwork and internal partitions along with first-fix mechanical and electrical works being undertaken. #ECEArchitecture #affordablehousing #londonresidential

Last week, we hosted the last #WiCS event of 2024 with an evening full of festive cheer and creative ideas. Thank you to Selina Brown and Laughology for the workshop about innovation in the workplace, giving us practical tools for increasing creativity and teaching them not to be afraid of making mistakes along the way. We wanted to also take this time to thank everyone who has supported and attended our #WomenInConstructionSussex events this year. We are already preparing for 2025, so keep an eye out for announcements in the new year!

Well done to the entire team for securing another 237 homes at Mindenhurst Village. Working closely with Cala Group Limited, Associate Sharon Le Goff and the ECE team have played a key role in developing the design, which celebrates the village's military history while adding a modern touch. We look forward to seeing this project come to life. #ECEArchitecture #residentialarchitecture

Unlock your creativity and innovation at work! Join Women in Construction Sussex for an engaging workshop dedicated to building creative problem-solving and #innovation skills in the workplace.   A lot of us hesitate to try new ideas or break away from conventional thinking for fear of making mistakes. But genuine #disruption is about redefining the rules, pushing boundaries, and establishing a culture of exploration. In this workshop, facilitated by Selina Brown from Laughology, you will learn practical techniques for understanding creativity, supporting innovation, and equipping yourself with tools for creative thinking. As this will be the last #WiCS event of 2024, there will be ✨festive✨ drinks and nibbles for you to enjoy throughout!
