When we were asked to design an extension for the Leisure Centre, it would have been easy to just continue with the building finishes already being used on the Centre. These looked a little tired though so it was better to freshen the building up with different, contemporary finishes. The double- height zinc- clad feature window frames views towards the town centre from the studios within, while the curved stair and lift enclosure provides a nice contrast to the existing building while directing patrons towards the new building entrance.

This was our first self-build and we were impressed by the helpful advice we received from the initial planning through to completion of the build. Roci was careful to warn us of the financial implications of any decisions which helped to keep us within our budget. We wanted a modern innovative design which was economical to heat and maintain and we have been delighted with the result. The design also incorporated features which maximize the particular strengths of our unusual site. We also required the renovation of an old mill and the architectural advice received was also invaluable both in obtaining planning consent and enabling us to achieve our objectives whilst staying within our budget. Overall we have been delighted with the project and remain grateful for the quality of the advice and communication which we received from the architect which enable us to enjoy the experience from start to completion.
