RB Studio is a RIBA chartered architect’s practice providing a full range of RIBA services from concept to completion. They have been responsible for developing an architectural solution befitting of the Deheers Warehouse, its future inhabitants and the community of Weymouth it has served for so many years.
Director Paul Robinson said:
"Architecture and our environment play a fundamental role in our lives. Well designed spaces are functional, aesthetically pleasing and have a positive impact on the environment and our sense of well being.”
An award winning practice, RB Studio have been featured on BBC’s ‘Building Dream Homes’ and in Grand Designs magazine. With offices in Poole and Swanage, they have completed projects across the South Coast of England, Liverpool, Dublin and London.
Paul Robinson added:
“I love that every brief, every client and every site brings a fresh challenge that in turn pushes our creativity as designers. At first glance the Deheers project looks pretty straight forward, a ‘clean sheet’ paper exercise and a vast open plan warehouse space with endless opportunity.
The process to develop this design from an initial sketch to a fully formed living and breathing building was far more complex. There was a large amount of existing internal structure around which we had to work out how best to layout each of the living spaces and given its size, there were very few window openings. Bringing light into the building without disrupting the external envelope of the building or falling outside the constraints of listed building consent was challenging.”
DJ Property’s Mickey Jones said:
“It was important that we chose an architect partner that we could work closely with and be able to build upon our vision for Deheers. Laurence and Paul are creative architects with a passion for designing beautiful buildings. They have been attentive, informative and provided an engaging service throughout. We have regular review meetings and the keep us involved in the process and informed of any key decisions and have been receptive to any feedback we provide. I am really happy with the working relationship we have developed.”
