Refurbished Library & Civic Centre
The project was to isolate and strip out all existing services and to design a comfortable, flexible working environment for office staff and library users alike. The result is to bring back to life this building after may years of neglect and make it a focus for the local community.
Consideration has been given to the longevity of the services and future maintenance costs using modular LED lighting.

Rainsbrook Cemetery and Crematorium
Rainsbrook Cemetery and Crematorium is a joint project between Rugby Borough Council and Daventry District Council. Sensitivities with regards to the site location, as well as consideration for the different users of the facility meant that it was important to deliver the brief without controversy.
A highly energy efficient building which also creates a calm, comforting environment.
