Conserve

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

Argent Architects, with imaginative client Mr Tim O'Donovan, have produced a dramatic design to convert the Old Tenby Lifeboat Station into a residence. The project is currently being filmed by Grand Designs, refer to CURRENT link above for more details. The Boathouse forms part of the stunning backdrop of Tenby harbour, and the publicity will further raise the profile of Tenby as a tourist destination.

The boathouse has been listed by CADW. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is the planning body.

St Davids Cathedral Choir Room

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.
