Cotswolds AONB Extension

January 23, 2024 / By rachel

RRA was appointed to explore options to remodel and extend a beautiful, stone building in stunning countryside. Our proposal suggested a single-storey side extension, expanding the kitchen and utility space. We preserved and enhanced the link to the dining room, introducing two large rooflights to bring natural light deep into the plan and framing the […]

Portland Square

May 12, 2021 / By admin

Located in Cheltenham’s trendy Pittville area was a very tired one-bed flat, with draughty windows, decrepit wiring and an old bathroom positioned at the end of the kitchen. Our clients wished to re-model the flat to improve the layout and maximise the value. On visiting the property we discovered the old staircase to the basement […]

Contemporary Extension to Victorian Semi-Detached

May 12, 2021 / By admin

As with many of these Victorian properties, the kitchen was a narrow, dark room with limited space, which, when the properties were built was solely used for kitchen purposes, bathing in front of the range every Sunday and never, ever, for entertaining guests. These days, however, the kitchen is the beating heart of the home […]

Tivoli Street Conversion

February 28, 2021 / By admin

Our client approached RRA to assess the property with a view to conversion. The building, although originally three tiny houses, had spent much of its existence as two properties - number 53 was a shop with living quarters and number 54 was a residential house. We prepared a provisional scheme, so when the building was [...]

Curtilage Listed Coach House

October 29, 2019 / By admin

Following a year-long search, our clients finally found this property, whilst the location and land were ideal the property did not suit their requirements, however, with some consideration and careful adaptation we were able to create their dream home. The property was to be a final home so the brief needed to future proof for […]

Beechcroft

July 16, 2019 / By admin

The house occupies a site that was originally developed in the 1950’s. The wider site would have formed the extensive grounds of Fownhope Court. An impressive gentleman’s house, complete with; a lake, a waterfall, water sluice to regulate the lake height, mature trees, rhododendrons and other spectacular estate planting. Alas this has long since gone […]

Coach House

July 16, 2019 / By admin

We provided extensive space plan option studies – looking at flipping the living space to the first floor to enjoy the roof structure – to providing a modest bolt-on extension to help create inside / outside living spaces. Client opted for bringing the living spaces to the ground floor with an inside / outside space […]

The Meadows

July 9, 2019 / By admin

Enjoying fantastic views over Cheltenham from its idyllic location on the private Battledown Hill, The Meadows is set within a half acre plot and exhibits classic Georgian style with mellow Ashlar stone. RRA was commissioned to sympathetically extend the property and remodel the internal configuration to create a state-of-the-art home, with the onus on retaining […]

41 Taylor Avenue

July 13, 2018 / By dale

The design opens up to a garden-facing kitchen & family room and, with careful planning, has added a music room, study and media room. Upstairs, the bedrooms have been transformed with the addition of a new bathroom and ensuite. We also extended into the loft space, creating a large bedroom with its own shower-room. This [...]
