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 […]

The Daily Bread, Hereford

May 24, 2018 / By admin

St Michael’s and All Angels church has been fully restored and it is wonderful to see the building taking it’s place as a center for the community once again. (To see the details of the church restoration visit our St Michael’s and All Angels page.) The best way to preserve historic buildings is to keep […]

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 structure was in a partially derelict state and required extensive timber repair work and rebuild. The design strategy ensured the use [...]

Ford Abbey – Boutique Hotel

May 24, 2018 / By admin

The basic fundamental design approach has been the careful conservation repair of important heritage and the combination of all the service and fit-out demands of a 5 star hotel.

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. RRA, in collaboration with the UK’s leading independant markets agent Quarterbridge, developed an exciting proposal [...]

All Saints’ Church

May 24, 2018 / By admin

This was achieved through: sensitive insertion of flexible and adaptable spaces, the introduction of a café / restaurant to populate the space, and the creation of a mezzanine floor within the south aisle. This allows the nave to remain a free and open space allowing for liturgical and / or secular uses. The interventions are [...]

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 […]

Grand Designs – Hillcot Barn

May 24, 2018 / By admin

The design celebrates stone structure, shelter and daylight, using the high vantage point to great effect. RRA’s conservation skills were used to great effect, to facilitate stone repair, using Cintec Anchors to shore up cracked walls and of lime repointing within the historic structure. To meet the client’s budget constraint off site manufacture was adopted, [...]

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 […]
