Maggie's London Night Hike


A team from Edward Cullinan Architects are walking the Maggie's London Night Hike tomorrow night.

Last year we wore glow-in-the-dark glasses. This year we will be wearing glow-in-the-dark baseball caps.

This event is particularly significant for us as the North East Maggie's Centre, designed by Ted Cullinan, will be going on site this year. We are honored to be working on a new Maggie's centre and are all proud to be supporting such a great cause. Maggie's Centres are for anyone affected by cancer, including family and friends of the person who has been diagnosed. Providing the right environment for visitors to a Maggie's Centre is crucial as it allows people to feel supported and uplifted. The North East centre will provide a place of calm and care. Particular to this centre is a sheltered sunken court on its south sides and a large south-facing sloping roof over the library that has photovoltaic cells to make electricity.


Our team name is 'Sole II Solar'; sole as in shoe, II as in second year in a row, and solar inspired by the sun image drawn by Ted (shown in the section above) as our emblem. He drew this to demonstrate the solar design principles used in the design of Maggie's North East.
