In conjunction with local contractor Walker Developments, MRT have recently completed a contemporary extension and internal alterations for this two bedroom terraced house in the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon. The scheme provides a new, light and airy open-plan kitchen/family room at the rear plus en-suite accommodation at first floor.
We are delighted to announce that The Bell at Alderminster has been nominated for an LABC Best Small Commercial Building Award 2017. Our scheme, which delivered a contemporary steel-framed two-storey restaurant extension within just 14 weeks, was constructed by Cotswold Oak and the award is to celebrate outstanding quality in construction work. The award ceremony and winning project will be confirmed at the end of June.
Our recently completed project in Stratford-upon-Avon’s Old Town involved the amalgamation of two historic terraced houses into one new high quality dwelling. Situated in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon’s Conservation Area, this site required a development like no others nearby, ensuring it was treated sensitively.
The front facade was retained, which required careful underpinning of the basement, while enhancements were made to the rear, with modern internal features, using large apertures and roof windows to allow great amounts of natural light into the spaces. 3D CAD modelling was utilised to better understand the proportions of the spaces created and we worked with Meer End Joinery who fabricated the feature staircase, as well as other items of furniture.
It was key to ensure that any new materials used were to match the existing buildings, such as using red faced bricks with lime mortar. This process could not be rushed, but ensured that the outcome looked very good and was within keeping.
MRT have now broken ground on site for this large, 9100 sqft, contemporary detached house for a private client including annex accommodation. The design which features an exciting plan form and is being built with quarter bonded brickwork, satin pastel feature panels, render, slate roofing, and high quality glazing systems. The project has an anticipated 18 month build programme.
MRT have been working closely with Birmingham City Council to design a new development of 9 flats in the highly desirable location of Moseley, Birmingham. The new building will replace an existing dwelling and stand as a pavilion in a parkland setting, with clean rendered lines and inset panels of grey brick to accentuate the horizontal proportions of the structure.
Following a recent committee meeting, BCC have recommended the application for approval.
