BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE

Client: Royal Shakespeare Company Value: £1.8m Location: Stratford-upon-Avon As a Grade II listed building, the Swan Wing is the only remaining element of the original 1879 Shakespeare Memorial Theatre which burnt down in 1926. Works comprised comprehensive conservation repairs of the external and internal historic fabric, plus a refurbishment and alteration of the internal finishes. The interior fit-out included creating an interactive exhibition space “The Play’s the Thing”, showcasing 100 years of theatre-making in Stratford-upon-Avon. During the project working hours were restricted due to theatre performances, rehearsals and ‘quiet’ periods as required by the RSC.

Client: Wells Cathedral School Value: ÂŁ6.6m Location: Somerset Set into the beautiful landscape of Cedars Field, we delivered a world class music, learning and teaching facility at the prestigious Wells Cathedral School. The new performing arts centre, Cedars Hall, provides a flexible, high quality space for use by the school and wider community with a varied programme of top quality entertainment all year round. The striking design places this landscape building at the centre of the school and has been completed with high-end finishes, leading to Cedars Hall winning the prestigious RIBA 2017 South West Building of the Year Award.

Client: Liongate Lodge Value: £500k Location: London Situated in Kew Green, Liongate Lodge was an unused Keepers House that has been brought back to life through a full refurbishment. As the building fabric was in need of serious repair, dry rot treatment works were completed to all the roof timbers and specialist stone repairs were carried out on the external façade. Internally, the house underwent a full refurbishment, reconfiguring the layout to accommodate a new entrance, toilet and laundry facilities while still retaining much of the historic fabric and original building features.
