Living in the centre

White Lion House Centre Point

MICA is an international award-winning architectural practice and Passivhaus designers based in London, Oxford and Edinburgh. We work at all scales and levels, from regional urban design and landscape, to individual buildings, retrofit, interiors and furniture. We were recently named UK Architect of the Year by our peers and simultaneously held Building’s Best Refurbishment project, BD’s Refurbishment Architect and AJ’s Best Retrofit.

We create successful mixed-use retail, living and leisure spaces for our clients through careful design; we consider context, scale and quantum together and bring an understanding of retail trends, and tenants’ and residents’ requirements. At MICA Architects we draw on our extensive knowledge and experience of delivering successful retail and leisure developments and enable our clients to make informed choices; together, we produce vibrant and transformative schemes. We have successfully delivered the transformation of Centre Point for Almacantar, the pivotal Southbank masterplan and the Fair Field schemes in Croydon.

Over the last 7 years MICA have secured planning consent in central Croydon for 380,000sq/m of development across commercial, residential, retail & hotel uses and delivered Croydon’s flagship Fairfield Halls redevelopment. New Croydon commissions include 30,000sq/m of mixed-use development south of East Croydon station and a mixed use tower on Addiscombe Road.

We take our role within communities and society seriously; we are mentors, campaigners and advocates for a broad range of programs and charities including The Stephen Lawrence Trust (Blueprint for all), Architects Declare, Stonewall and Women in Architecture. Over a number of years we have built strong networks of community engagement in Croydon and deliver meaningful social value in all of our work and all that we do.
