In just one year, the Nyami Studio Noohani School in Pakistan has become a shining example of how thoughtful design can drive positive change. From enabling more girls to attend school to improving health through clean water access, this project has transformed the village it serves.

A fantastic opportunity for some young minds to learn about construction from our colleagues at Willmott Dixon.

Some great shots of Deansgate, Manchester that has progressed amazingly this year! A challenging student living scheme that is moving forward successfully, all thanks to the great team behind it.

Kent Street Apartments has been approved for planning by Birmingham. This central Digbeth scheme for P1 Capital is an 8-12 storey regeneration residential scheme with a flexible commercial unit fronting Kent Street. Forming a collection of 64 one and 69 two-bedroom apartments, the open-plan living scheme also features a large landscaped resident’s rooftop terrace along with ground floor amenity space. The design and materiality of the building aims to reflect the local grain and heritage of the area, echoing industrial themes. Using a single brick type to all facades in a variety of bonds with a combination of mortar colours creates a simple elegant building which gives a gentle nod to the past.  #CorstorphineWright #Birmingham #NewDevelopments

We are celebrating Muneebah Shaheen who was included on the shortlist for the NPH Ethnic Minority Powerlist: Women in Business category.

Not only does she contribute to major schemes coming out of that studio, but she also is a key player of the Practice's Social Impact Team and run the Leeds' work experience programme. Alongside the 'day job' she also co-founded Nyami Studio. Corstorphine & Wright has recently committed to a second year of support for Nyami's important work.

Thank you to Dezeen for including our 'Scoop' office in its roundup of the the top 10 UK architecture projects of 2024. The Scoop is a unique and innovative office building located in Southwark, London. The design reuses an existing building and integrates a conical cut-out façade in white glazed bricks, creating a playful and novel response to the site’s context and neighbouring church. The main design goal for The Scoop was to create a visual bridge between the public realm and the church, while maximizing the development potential for the client. This aimed to ensure that the adjacent heritage asset was celebrated rather than hidden by the new development. https://buff.ly/3OTd2Ox
