Common Ground is a new type of design studio set up to ‘bridge the worlds of private and public sector bring­ing the best from each’. It was founded in 2017 as an offshoot of Croydon Council’s in-house Brick by Brick development company. Set up to consolidate design work from the inaugural Croydon Smaller Sites Programme, the studio is the first to emerge from a local authority in a generation. Along with writing the master brief for all Brick by Brick developments, Common Ground has delivered a range of projects across the borough including the Pump House, which transformed a former South Norwood car park into a residential block with civic presence. http://commongroundarchitecture.com
