We don't like cricket, we LOVE it! 🏏

We are buzzing with joy at the news that we've secured planning for a new community-focused cricket pavilion in South London! Designed in collaboration with our brilliant client, Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club, the project is set to kick off later this year and will complete in 2025. 

Thanks to the Architects’ Journal and Will Ing for covering the details, and to our client for these lovely words:

"We are very grateful to Andy Matthews Studio for designing our new pavilion. It was a highly collaborative process, where the studio accommodated not only to the requirements from our governing bodies but also really listened to what a diverse and growing club like ours needs. 

With this new building, we can realise our ambitions to provide the appropriate facilities for our women’s and girls’ sections, as well as allow us to start disability cricket – a longstanding wish.

It will also provide an amazing space in a special location that we will share with local organisations, firmly cementing our place in the community. With the club’s history going back centuries, the new pavilion will secure the future of the club for the next generations."
