Barn Conversion—Conversion of an existing small barn to residential use observing the restrictions of the local planning policies

Design Solution
The scheme proposed that an extension be built to accommodate the new kitchen/dining area which incorporated the stone walls of a previous outhouse. Slate flooring was saved and reused and oak lintels were replaced in kind.

The roof structure was replaced to match the existing and reclad in slate. The barn had lain derelict for many years and was gradually giving in to the onslaught from the brambles that had overtaken it.

Our clients were sensitive to the situation and keen to see the building brought back to life and re-instated for future generations.

The building now has a new life and vibrancy reflecting its past use.

New Scout and Guide Facilities—A mixed development of flats and a new hall for the Scout & Guide movement

Design Brief
A mixed development of flats and a new hall for the Scout & Guide movement. The Tenby Scout & Guide association entered into a partnership with GKV developments to redevelop the Warren Street site. The site was transferred to the development company in return for the provision of the new hall facilities.

Design Solution
The scheme involved the complete clearance of the site including the old scout hall. The approved design incorporates six flats on the street frontage over private garages. The new Scout and Guide facilities are located at the rear of the site with both front access through the apartments lobby and a separate side access.

The scale of the redevelopment reflects the character of the existing buildings in Warren Street. The use of bay windows, gables and dormer windows to the third floor harmonises with the existing streetscape.
