With a flair for innovation and commitment to sustainability, the team’s projects range from residential and commercial new builds to listed buildings, and their capabilities know no bounds. Following the success of Macey’s Architectural Design & Development within the Southern Enterprise Awards 2025, we speak to Director, Ben Macey to learn more. Most Innovative Sustainable Architecture Practice 2025 - Wiltshire Macey’s Architectural Design & Development believes that it is its commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and client-focused approach that truly sets it apart within the architectural industry. Ben tells us, “We believe that every project is an opportunity to create something extraordinary, and we are passionate about delivering results that exceed expectations. In the world of architecture, the journey from an initial concept to a completed building involves numerous stages, each requiring distinct expertise and careful attention to detail. MADD is dedicated to guiding you through every step of this intricate process, offering services that span from RIBA Stage 0 to RIBA stage 7 (initial brief to post-completion).” He continues, “By adding services across all RIBA stages, we ensure a holistic and cohesive approach that brings your vision to life with precision and creativity. We aim to deliver exceptional results that stand the test of time. We ensure we always stay on trend and ahead of the curve by staying up to date with the latest technologies and advancements.” These services are, but not limited to, design and construction of new residential and commercial builds; comprehensive execution of housing developments, from initial consultation and site analysis to master planning, sustainable design, and project management; extensions to existing structures to enhance their space and functionality; creation of facilities for the healthcare sector to meet the evolving needs of patients and staff; empathetic conservation of listed and historic buildings; refurbishment of outdated properties to include modern design and innovation solutions; and renovation services to update and improve existing buildings. The team’s technical ability and accuracy, client-centred approach, integrated services, quality assurance, creativity, innovation, and environmentally responsible designs allow them to bring each project to life to the highest standard. Underscoring this are core values of quality, collaboration, adaptability, safety, continuous learning, integrity, professionalism, and ethical behaviour, which have remained solid throughout its operations so far. Ben explains, “We have a client-centric approach and prioritise your vision and requirements, ensuring that every design decision aligns with your goals and enhances the user experience. From initial concept to post-occupancy evaluation, we offer a seamless and comprehensive service. Our rigorous quality control processes ensure that every aspect of your project is executed to the highest standard and we embrace cuttingedge technology and sustainable practices to deliver innovative and environmentally responsible designs.” So, how does Ben go about leading the team that make it all happen? He highlights the embracing of remote work and driving of electric cars to help minimise their carbon footprint. But he also goes on to say that he is dedicated to ensuring each team member fully understands their roles and that it is okay to ask questions, adding that “in my opinion, that is one of the best ways to learn!” “I aim to lead by example, communicating openly and fostering collaboration, which I believe is key in this industry,” he states. “I make sure I delegate work responsibly, encouraging feedback as and when required and aim to resolve any conflicts constructively to maintain team harmony and productivity. As we expand, I look for team members that have our core values at heart and have a passion for the industry and what we do.” Now that we know all about the award-winning firm that is Macey’s Architectural Design & Development, we are keen to discover what its future looks like. Ben reveals, “The remainder of 2025 and beyond looks bright. We currently have several ongoing projects at various stages of development, and new jobs are coming in at a steady rate. “As part of the CIAT (Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists) Wessex Committee, I have also helped to set up a CIAT Coffee Club in Wiltshire, an event we are sharing with the AECB (Association for Environment Conscious Building). It is a great opportunity to meet like-minded people/ businesses to talk all things CIAT/AECB. “I have also been voted to represent CIAT Wessex and will be attending the CIAT AGM 2025 in Dublin as a ‘voting delegate’ alongside the 60th Celebratory Gala in November, which I am very much looking forward to.” Company name: Macey's Architectural Design & Development Ltd Contact name: Ben Macey MCIAT MCIOB Contact email: [email protected] Website: www.maddltd.co.uk Telephone: 07867 417112
