This February we had the chance to welcome two brilliant students, Shaima and Taejah, to our office as part of the Open City Education Accelerate Programme. Their project theme was Together, translating their thoughts around this into the design of a kiosk which might welcome the local community.

What a year, its been bumpy and energy giving in equal measure! We wish every one of our followers, friends, collaborators and clients a happy 2025.⁠

Our Christmas charities this year have been Shelter and Hackney Hight Shelter, any help you can give too would be sincerely appreciated.

The strategic infrastructure works at Meridian Water have started on site. Streets, drainage, earthworks, bridges and parks funded by £195m from the Ministry of Homes Communities & Local Government are being delivered by Taylor Woodrow will provide the development platform for at least 5000 homes.⁠ Periscope has designed two green spaces, Brooks Park and Edmonton Marshes at the core of the project.

Earlier in the autumn Ellen Hägerdal was promoted to Practice Manager having acted in the role for the past year. She now leads our strategic management including team wellbeing and development, finance and business systems. ⁠

This winter season Periscope is again raising money for Shelter's 'Walk for Home'. All funds go towards building a future supporting people who are living in unsafe or unfit housing or with no permanent place to call home. ⁠

This is a cause that can have a real impact to people's lives at the most challenging time of year; if you'd like to support us and donate, please check this link, anything you can give will make a real difference to Shelter's work.
