New Scout Hut completed and already being enjoyed by the local Beaver, Cub and Scout Groups!
MRT Architects assisted 1st Henley and Wootton Scout group in obtaining a new Scout building from design, planning, through building regulations and completion.
Annabel our Architectural Designer is a Cub Scout leader herself and so was ideally positioned to assist 1st Henley and Wootton Scout group, having already a good knowledge of the needs and activities at weekly meetings across Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
It was imperative that MRT worked closely with Stratford on Avon Building control to ensure that the building was in accordance with building regulations in particular separation distances, and fire safety.
1st Henley and Wootton Beaver group hosted their first overnight stay in their new Scout Hut back in October and MRT are delighted to see the building being enjoyed by the Beaver, Cub and Scout sections. An open day for the local community and surrounding Scout groups is being planned in April 2023.
Picturesque cottage gets new roof in time for snow!
Ferne Cottage has a new slate roof on, just in time for the holidays (and the snow!). Internally, this property has been stripped down to its bare bones, as it was suffering from damp and decay after many years of neglect. Watch this space in Spring 2023 as we transform this shell into a lovely home.
Historic building renovation
This once unloved, dilapidated building was part of a renovation and was extended for a law firm’s U.K. headquarters some years ago. The new part of this grade II listed building created a new entrance focal point, acting as an infill in a row of Georgian houses. The contemporary addition features clay tile hanging in surrounding steel window door fenestration.
In recent years this beautiful building has enjoyed a new lease of life with a conversion from offices to residential, as it was once before. A full journey of regeneration and repair contributing to Stratford upon Avon’s rich, historic past and a positive step forward.
Revisit of Replacement Dwelling in Luddington
It seems only yesterday that we were the architects for this replacement dwelling in Luddington, yet it is probably over ten years ago!
The design seeks to emulate a traditional house form with a front facing double gable and single one at the rear on the centreline of the raised swimming pool terrace. A contemporary edge is created with crisp white render with blue brick flourishes under a slate roof with deep grey aluminium windows and doors. Inside there is an atrium inspired gallery landing overlooking the hallways and downstairs there are spacious open plan living rooms which catch the solar path.
This is a timeless design which will feel classic and fresh for many years to come.

The Gables in Honeybourne is now ready for its holiday let customers!
After a comprehensive period of alterations and restoration and now a garden makeover it’s all complete and looking good.
The landscapers have carried out the MRT garden design with energy and skill with great results to improve the setting of the historic House
This Grade II Tudor dwelling is of national significance which required sensitive design work from MRT and skillful negotiation with conservation officers. We are delighted with the opportunity to work on such an important prestigious project and are very pleased to be able to direct future maintenance of the house and grounds.
