Cox’s Yard

We hear the buzz of a new feature film venue at the MRT Architects Cox’s Yard Development on the banks of the Avon. There are plenty of photo shoot opportunities in and around the historic and new build structures in this riverside setting. There are shots next to and around the listed grade two Georgian era timber drying warehouse the old steam sawmill and the timber cutting shed now a pub restaurant and music venue.

This previously derelict site was a national competition winner for MRT in conjunction with Charles Wells Brewery. The movie location could not be in a more popular place drawing visitors and customers from around the world in normal times.

Look out for ‘there’s always hope’ due to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May next year. Hopefully for the return of the cinemas when it is released in Autumn 2021.

Dwelling Dark Lane, Tiddington

An article in a recent Saturday Telegraph recently talked up and about house values and the Stamp Duty savings to be achieved. The popular newspaper featured photographs of a dwelling for sale that MRT designed in Tiddington a few years ago. The current tax relief is creating a lot of Estate Agency movements with good activity in the marketplace.

The house was a replacement dwelling and built as a speculative venture from an established construction company. The Stratford upon Avon firm completed a meticulously detailed and beautifully crafted building of great individuality. The Arts and Crafts style house sold soon after it was finished and is now selling well again during this mini property boom. We believe at MRT Architects that good design pays!

Stratford Racecourse

Despite all the issues racing at Stratford is going forward albeit without the many spectators perhaps until next year. Maybe we will see a full return of National Hunt fans able to enjoy live! this sport of kings!

The MRT designed grandstands bars restaurants and hospitality suites have been missed by punters owners and trainers alike. They are ready to go for the 2021 season especially for the coming summer with Family and Ladies Day dates firmly now in the calendar.

Lets hope for a winning streak! Its well overdue!
