We’re delighted to have been awarded as Engineering Consultant of the Year at the Building Awards! Our Vessel project, with Heatherwick Studio and Related, also picked up a prize!

Our project with EPR Architects and English Cities Fund (ECF) received a unanimous resolution to grant for planning approval. The project provides a phased development including a total of 804 new homes, of which will bring 50% affordable housing to the borough of Newham.

Our project with NEX and Cadogan Estates is complete and is now open to the public! Caravan group’s new concept restaurant Vardo opens at Cadogan Estates’ Duke of York Restaurant in Chelsea’s Duke of York Square.

A new major regeneration project by British Land has hit a significant milestone as Southwark Council Planning Committee (SCPC) resolved to grant planning permission for the Canada Water masterplan in line with recommendations from an officer from SCPC. We are pleased to announce we are supporting British Land on two of the phase 1 buildings (A1 & K1).

For the global Climate Strike, our practice decided to host discussions and debates surrounding what more we as a business, as engineers and as individuals can do to tackle the current climate emergency. Click here to read more about the day.

The Twist has opened! It was great to collaborate with BIG and Bjarke Ingels on The Twist at Kistefos Museum and Sculpture Park in Norway.

We’re pleased to announce that Ali Raza has been appointed as a director for our Geotechnical team. Following the appointment of Dr Dimitrios Selemetas as technical director in late 2018, the team has now grown to be an even more essential part of AKT  II.

For this year's Tallinn Architecture Biennale we worked with the head curator, Dr Yael Reisner, and assistant curator Barnaby Gunning on a tensile fabric installation.

On 20^th September, AKT II will be joining the global climate strike. On this day, AKT II will support its staff in joining strikes across London. We will be organising events within our offices to discuss ways that we can all do more to solve this crisis – on a personal and on a professional level as engineers and designers.
