New Practice are experts in place, working across the UK, Ireland and internationally.

We exist to develop the community, creative and cultural capacity of places and to connect people with the decision making processes that underpin the lived experience.

We lead the way in embedding social value in place-based practice across the UK through community engagement, meanwhile use, retrofit & reuse and strategies for communities; ensuring that community centred briefs and shared decision making shape the future of our built environment.

Our projects are delivered by an inclusive and energetic team focused on creating real social value through their work, not just talking about it. Together we actively enable and deliver projects which place people first and fundamentally build community.
