Conservation

Tenby and County Club, Pembroke Dock Martello Tower....

Careful measured drawings were produced by argent architects for Tenby and County Club in order to conserve the listed building, and to replan for extended use.

Argent architects expertise with historic buildings is far ranging. Other completed projects include project management for the restoration of the Martello Tower at Pembroke Dock, the new choir room at St Davids Cathedral, and the Farms for City Children School at Treginnis, St Davids.

Tenby

Argent architects produced this Cottage near Tenby, which is situated in a very sensitive conservation area at the heart of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, adjacent to the Norman Church and Castle. Working closely with the client and the planning department we transformed the tiny cottage into a modern family home, and actually enhanced the charm of the original tiny cottage, which is a grade two listed building with many interesting historic features. By means of a new linked outbuilding modern facilities have been added - Kitchen, Dining, Bedroom, 2 Bathrooms and Utility Room. Large openings bring the garden into the house. The semi circular stair element allows maximum use of space and relates to Manorbier Church and castle nearby.

Tenby Lifeboat Station

Substantial repairs to the slipway and total recladding was carried out by our construction arm some years ago with George Argent & Company ltd. Argent architects are currently involved in an interesting project with Tenby Lifeboat Station to give the building new life.
