Ross-On-Wye Market House

May 24, 2018 / By admin

In 2017 RRA’s conservation team carried out a quinquennial report on the building to identify which areas required repairs. These repairs were categorised into levels of urgency from A for immediate repairs to D which is desirable. The initial works, identified as urgent, have been carried out as phase 1t. These included stripping back parts […]

A new use for a restored church The Daily Bread was developed as the proposed second phase of work at St Michael’s and All Angels Church in Brampton Abbotts, Herefordshire.

Bill’s Cafe, Hereford

May 24, 2018 / By admin

The design was about striping back the years of remodeling that did not sit well with the original structure, to reveal the core shell of the building. This was then refurbished with a brand identity redeveloped for Bill’s all the way down to the furniture designed and specified under a full fit-out contract, with suitable [...]

Gwynne Warehouse

May 24, 2018 / By admin

RRA developed this project to combine all the demands of a contemporary exhibition space, whilst allowing for the fact that, the building was grade 2 listed and flooded at least twice a year.

The Buttermarket – RIBA Competition Award

May 24, 2018 / By admin

RRA's Buttermarket entry was designed to establish an over-arching brand identity which would work with existing market-traders, and purveyors of local Herefordshire food heritage, to manage, promote and incubate new visitors and foot fall within this historic Victorian food hall.

All Saints’ Church

May 24, 2018 / By admin

When a Dangerous Structures Notice threatened to close the 13th-century All Saints Church in Hereford, Herefordshire, RRA Architects stepped in with a bold, conservation-led solution to secure the building’s future. This Grade II* listed medieval church was suffering severe fabric decay, and its small congregation could not afford the immense repair costs. Working closely with […]

Greyfriars ‘Green’ Housing

May 24, 2018 / By admin

RRA is inspired by great buildings and great cities, we are extremely lucky to have both at Greyfriars Gate, a speculative 52 dwelling apartment development project that pushed the boundaries of ‘green’ urban living. This housing project is a fitting landmark for the city of Hereford, as the balances a concrete mass of the 1950’s […]

Tanyard Housing, Bromyard

May 24, 2018 / By admin

RRA was approached by a housing developer to look to a large part of the town of Bromyard to develop a housing development with a careful conservation repair program to 3 historic buildings located on the site. The scheme whilst traditional and conservative in its aesthetic is a success in terms of negotiating a sympathetic […]

All openings puncture a soft white rendered facade, as an essay in solid and void. The plan layout places internal circulation and vertical movement [...]
