Building Futures: Mentoring Architecture Students at South Street
It was a pleasure to share the progress of our South Street project in Lancing with architecture students from the University of Brighton!
The visit gave a unique opportunity to see the transformation of an underused car park into seven much-needed mews homes for vulnerable families. The highly sustainable scheme, developed for Adur District Council, employs modern methods of construction (MMC), including off-site manufacturing and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). These innovations speed up construction, reduce waste, and ensure a high-quality finish – all while minimising disruption to the surrounding area.
A big thank you to Sunninghill Construction for their time and expertise in guiding the group around the site and sharing their experiences and knowledge.
As active members in the RIBA Mentoring Scheme, we regularly support and engage with the next generation of architects by providing hands-on learning opportunities. Visits like these help students connect their university studies with the realities of the construction site and the important role collaboration plays in delivering exceptional results.
It’s always inspiring to see the enthusiasm and talent of future architects. Our future is in safe hands, and at HNW we’re committed to supporting their growth through mentoring, site visits, and career guidance.
We look forward to the project’s completion and welcoming the first families into their new homes. Watch this space for more updates and final images of the finished scheme!
