Stover School Art Building

The grade 1 house and parkland were analysed and possibilities explored, to establish the feasibility of future development for Stover School.  The art building was the first housing the school’s art and media classrooms.

They demonstrate the potential for light, modern architecture to sit appropriately in an historic setting while making its own positive contribution.

St Margaret’s Almshouses

St.Margaret’s Almshouses had been burnt and left derelict since 1990.  The scheme repaired and converted the remaining shell back into social housing .

The original 1616 pattern of walls for 7 houses was re-established and re-interpreted for 4 homes.  New stairs and services are concentrated in the old chimneys positions that had been previously lost.

WCA Warehouse

This was the first concrete-framed building in Bristol (1905) and had many problems associated with that construction.  An inventive plan allowed an economic conversion into social housing, with the complex servicing integrated around the existing elements of the handsome original building.

Detailed negotiations with English Heritage and Bristol City Council ensured a positive approach to the reuse of this Grade II listed building.

The Priest’s House

Repair and conversion of Grade 1 medieval house.

Repairs were complex and extensive and included reinforcement and conservation of ancient roof structure.  A new kitchen and bathroom, as well as the introduction of new services, were designed for the building.

Stogursey Castle

Repair and conversion of a ruined castle gatehouse, and Scheduled Ancient Monument, into holiday accommodation.
