Bring the ideas in your imagination to life in a MATT+FIONA big build at this year’s Open House! Using recycled materials, card board, colourful fabric and some nifty fixings, we’ll be reimagining a eco-friendly, joyful Croydon of the future in Queen's Gardens.
Will we get about via zipline from the tallest buildings, have treehouses as classrooms or floating cinemas on reservoirs? And what are the stories of Croydon that need to be told? We’d love to collect your thoughts and reflections on Croydon's most important heritage.

MATT+FIONA is an award-winning social enterprise that asks young people how their built environment might be improved and empower them to bring that vision to life through their work, BUILD, LEARN, CONNECT. We are a small but dynamic organisation led by architects and educators.
MATT+FIONA began 6 years ago through creating a trailblazing young people-centred, co-designed, external performance space for the National Trust’s Sutton House. Since then, we have worked with leading community and cultural organisations, universities and schools to create and deliver almost 30 buildings and installations, collaborating with more than 4,500 young people and almost 300 volunteers across the UK and beyond.
