RRA Architects
Porters Restaurant
The first response was to use contemporary detailing to create a palette of quality and accents of detail. Our client asked us to design a quirky restaurant with elements of humour; the stag’s horn pendant lights and glitter ball in the ladies’ washroom certainly does that. RRA nested an array of banquette seats into the [...]
Ross-On-Wye Market House
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 […]

Canwood Farm Gallery, Hereford
The project involved the careful consideration of details to ensure a minimal backdrop for the works of art that are to be permanently housed within and on the walls of the building. Given the constraints of the existing building, the end result is a minimal aesthetic ensuring the building is a backdrop to the enjoyment [...]
Pittville Gates, Cheltenham
RRA was appointed in 2011 to set about restoring the ironwork and stonework plinths. Utilising past experience in conservation and heritage work, RRA advised that the project should be completed in phases to allow funds to be spent in increments and to ensure various stages of restoration and fund raising could happen in sequence. Grantham [...]
