Alison Brooks Architects at Clerkenwell Design Week 2025

Michael Mueller, our Director, delivered a presentation at the EH Smith Design Centre in London for CDW 2025.

His presentation, ‘Place and Materials’, explored the practice’s ethos, highlighting two of our recent projects – Rubicon in Eddington, northwest Cambridge, and Cadence in King’s Cross – as case studies demonstrating the studio’s collaboration with EH Smith and our shared commitment to beautiful and enduring materials.

The Rubicon project features a distinctive hand-glazed brick produced by Klinker Covadonga, while Cadence – a mixed-use residential development that defines the northern edge of the Stirling Prize-shortlisted King’s Cross masterplan – is characterised by its richly detailed orange brick, evocative of the materiality of the nearby St Pancras landmark.

Hosted in partnership with EH Smith, the event was held as part of London’s leading design festival, Clerkenwell Design Week, with the support of Architecture Today.
