Broadway Malyan swoops for urban housing architect
Sally Lewis, founder of Stitch
Global architecture practice Broadway Malyan has boosted its home design and delivery capabilities with the acquisition of Stitch.
Established in 2012 by Sally Lewis, housing architect Stitch tackles complex urban sites, delivering developments across a variety of tenure types.
Its portfolio of housing projects includes successive phases of mixed-tenure homes at Acton Gardens, a suite of small infill sites across Croydon for new housing, the Marlowe Road Estate regeneration and several sites within the Old Kent Road Opportunity Area, Southwark.
Stitch joins Broadway Malyan’s UK operations in London, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as studios across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, working at a range of scales from regional masterplanning to architecture and interiors.
The deal will boost operations in the South East, Midlands and North West, and particularly benefits Broadway Malyan’s market reach in regeneration and infill sites in and around London.
Its current housing work includes large-scale masterplans for the former Pilkington site in St Helens and at Davenport Green in Greater Manchester as well as residential schemes in Leeds and Bristol.
Ian Apsley, Chief Executive of Bradway Malyan said: “We’re delighted to welcome Stitch to Broadway Malyan. Sally and her team have built a fantastic reputation for designing new homes that benefit and enhance their context, whilst responding to the needs of present and future residents.
“The practice’s approach and experience, particularly in London, will complement the existing skills we have, particularly in large scale masterplanning and urban design, adding valuable knowledge and design expertise.”
Sally Lewis, founder of Stitch added: “We are thrilled to join forces with Broadway Malyan’s exceptional team, harnessing their strength, resources, and expertise to enhance our delivery of new homes for London.
“Committed to our ethos of partnership, we’ll work hand in hand with London’s communities to deliver quality design at scale – creating not just housing numbers, but vibrant streets and sustainable neighbourhoods to support them.”
