Maisie Tudge and Carl Baker

The Scottish Housing Summit will bring together housing associations, local authorities, developers and industry bodies for a day dedicated to the issues shaping housing delivery in Scotland.

Running alongside the Scottish Construction Summit, the co-located format also opens up valuable crossover with the construction side of the industry, giving delegates access to both programmes under one roof.

Jointly presenting a retrofit case study from Collective Architecture are architects Maisie Tudge and Carl Baker.

Maisie joined Collective Architecture in 2021 after graduating with Distinction from the Mackintosh School of Architecture and gaining a First Class BA(Hons) from Oxford Brookes. Her expertise spans conservation, community-centred architecture and sustainable design and she has a particular passion for material reuse and embedding circular economy principles wherever possible.

Maisie has worked on numerous prestigious conservation projects, including the Robert Burns Ellisland Museum, and she is project architect for the retrofit of two 1960s social-housing towers in Edinburgh.

This groundbreaking project, currently approaching construction, is a placemaking and energy retrofit which utilises LETI fabric-first principles to improve space-heating efficiency. Maisie’s interests in retrofit, restoration and community engagement position her as a forward-thinking architect committed to sustainable and socially responsible design. Maisie was awarded the RSA Architecture Prize in 2023 while exhibiting at the RSA New Contemporaries.

Since joining Collective Architecture in 2018, Carl has spearheaded Scotland’s first intergenerational Passivhaus development at Powderhall Edinburgh, which combines an early years nursery with older persons’ homes, and is currently bringing his significant expertise to bear on the groundbreaking retrofit of Cables Wynd and Linksview House, two category A listed brutalist residential blocks in Leith.

His passion for embedding low-energy design into all projects has made him a trusted advisor for Passivhaus projects and meeting net zero carbon commitments to deliver positive outcomes for residents and clients alike. Carl also brings a breadth of experience from previous work at CDA and 7N Architects on a diverse range of residential, commercial and adaptive re-use projects, including the notable Knab Masterplan in Lerwick. Carl’s knowledge of Revit and BIM protocols is also invaluable to the Edinburgh studio.
