Four Winds Completion
/Our project in Harrow is now complete and the house, having undergone a complete transformation, is fully occupied, with the new basement leisure and pool area looking fantastic.
Here are some photos of the finished outcome.
Firstly let us wish you very Happy New Year.
Although Christmas 2021 did not turn out exactly as we all hoped, the year had on the whole been good at RMA and things are bright looking forward. Our base in the grounds of Hatfield House provides the ideal hub for a team still working largely, and very effectively, from home and a base for new local work.
We have been working on a series of spectacular one-off houses. In Harrow an ‘Arts and Crafts’ villa has been completely re-invented, with a new basement leisure complex, seen here just after the pool was filled. Similar projects at slightly earlier stages are currently under way in Hampstead, Belsize Park and Kingston upon Thames.
The team have also continued to work on a wide variety of housing projects for older people. Our 77-apartment Extra Care scheme in Norfolk is currently out to tender while three major applications for Retirement Housing in Kent, Surrey, and Hampshire and two care homes are all currently in for planning: projects with a combined construction value in excess of £60M.
Pictured here is our newly completed Retirement Housing scheme for Beechcroft Developments in Godalming clustered around an extraordinary Edwardian house created by a teacher at nearby Charterhouse School. Another recent completion has been at Cotswold Gate in Burford.
Richard’s work as chair of the Retirement Housing Group UK continues to be both demanding and rewarding, with a growth in membership, including top specialist providers in the field, cementing the group’s inclusive reputation, representing developers, operators, and consultants right across the older people’s housing sector. Our lobbying of government continues as a major strand of work and we are currently involved demonstrating the important role specialist housing can play in ‘levelling up.’
Expert witness advice from both Richard and Yarema also continues to be much in demand with current cases in many parts of the country: Bolton and Cheshire, Mayfair, Hampstead, and many others. It can be very intriguing to consider the extraordinary way in which some other architects work.
And so, our best wishes to you all for a prosperous, much more normal new year.
There have been major changes on our site in Harrow, Four Winds.
The site is looking really good and is almost finished, with the main house being occupied again. The basement renovations are coming along, making good progress and should be finished soon.
