The RIBA Journal covers our Middlesex Street project in the Building Intelligence section in their November Issue. Tribute to all the hard work from our team! Well done!

NBA’s Middlesex Street ‘Wilde’ brand hotel has been completed at the beginning of September 2024. This complex and aspirational project has been an ambitions redevelopment of a corner plot along the main street of Petticoat Lane market. The history of the area has been ‘captured’ in the architectural design and form of the new building. This project creates a new identity respectful of its heritage whilst also including a twist that looks to represent the capabilities of today’s construction methodologies along with new interpretations of classical building materials, both inside and out.

The clubhouse building, which will form the heart of the IRC at Shiplake, has developed on site. The roof structure is now in place and the entrance feature clearly visible. 300.000 bricks have been delivered to site to progress the enclosure of the walls to the apartment building.

East Herts Council have approved our proposals to add a learning centre to St Edmund's College. The new building will provide support facilities for students and staff in this popular and successful independent school.

Progress has been made on the external cladding at our hotel project at Middlesex street, London. The final zinc cladding layer has been added to complete the dramatic 3D favours that compose the top floor additions.

Our project at Clanricarde road in Notting Hill has progressed to site. The interval floors and staircases have been removed to be replaced with a single stair and a new lift.

Nick Baker Architects celebrated 17 years in business this month. Having negotiated the trials of the pandemic we now have projects on site that consist of a 106 bedroom hotel in Liverpool Street, London and a 65 unit Integrated Retirement Community in Shiplake, Oxfordshire..

NBA have been appointed to design and develop a site at St Edmunds College, Ware, to provide a much needed Learning Centre at the school. Following the development of an extensive masterplan by Lytle Associates a series of sites were selected for further development. These include a site central to the college that acts as a fulcrum to the circulation of pupils around the existing buildings. The proposed scheme acts as an extension to an existing wing of the original main school block developed in 1795. The proposal will need both planning consent and Listed Building Consent As it sits within a collection of Grade I and Grade II listed structures. Careful consideration will be needed to craft in a solution that compliments its existing surroundings.
