This week we say farewell to Gary Milliner: architect, placemaker, bullet-fast on two wheels and overall brilliant person. We're going to miss him, that's for sure. A lovely interview of a resident @BournvilleGV and how they have adapted in the building and gardens during #lockdown. Day 18 of our #ReverseAdventCalendar and we've made our first delivery to @NorthBristolFB.
The Urban Design Studio at Stride Treglown carries out three main services: masterplanning, design guidance and engagement and consultation. It is also the curator of the Place Initiative, a company-wide ethos and approach to holistic and people-centric design practice and thinking. Our broad placemaking experience enables us to create visions for all types of environments: from dense urban environments to open and green landscapes; from the neighbourhood to the home. Our team draws upon the multi-disciplinary expertise of our urban and landscape designers, planners and architects to identify the ingredients needed to bring a place to life.
Our alteration experience covers every type of historic conservation and listed grade possible. From the grandest castle to the humblest greenhouse, church spires to Victorian public toilets. Usually it involves detailed negotiations with bodies such as English Heritage, the National Amenity Societies, Local Planning Authorities and Diocesan Advisory Committees. We strive to find a sensitive and appropriate solution that will meet your needs, without compromising the historic integrity of the original building.
The traditional role of the architect is changing, especially with integrated Design and Build routes. Therefore, it's important to strengthen the client team with independent expert advisers from the earliest stages to maintain the quality, value, sustainability and lifecycle of a project. RIBA Client Advisers are highly experienced architects but not the ones designing the building. They provide client teams with clear, impartial advice and help to manage the design process. Client advisers are selected by the RIBA for their all-round procurement expertise, design experience, business knowledge and track-record of delivering high-quality results in construction projects.
