The Hardwick Restaurant, Abergavenny
Stephen Terry and his wife Joanna purchased the old Horse and Jockey public house only three years ago and have in that time have developed a restaurant with an international reputation. This is hardly surprising if you take into account Stephens recognition as one of Britains leading chefs. Any chef that won his first Michelin star at the age of 25 and was mentored by both Marco Pierre White and Michelle Roux is an invaluable asset not only to Abergavenny but the culinary reputation of Wales Stephen has committed his future to this area and has developed relationships with local suppliers giving invaluable support to the local rural economy Milsom Architects were commissioned to design a building that reflects Stephens philosophy. His design brief was a building that achieves the following that are very much part of his own ethic. • A vibrant building with its own identity • An extension that compliments the original building rather than mimics it. • A sustainable building • It should provide an exciting environment that one would expect of a restaurant that is now receiving widespread acclaim

EXISTING FACILITIES. Currently the hotel is made up of four areas, the existing manor house, the leisure facility, the 1960’s extension providing accommodation and a multi purpose function suite and the numerous extensions providing ancillary and service space. .DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY Initial Studies suggest there are some simple design principals and objectives that will allow for the design of this scheme to evolve. Separate Function/Wedding guests from the remainder of hotel. A central hub or reception.

Seaview. Former home of Dylan Thomas
Seaview was the former home of the poet Dylan Thomas and his wife Caitlin. During his time here, he created and had published some of his more important pieces. Seaview was bought at auction in August 2007 by the Milsom family. The building was in a very advanced stage of decay and was in imminent danger of collapse. The photographs show its condition then and the building now that it has been saved. Seaview has now been transformed into a five star restaurant with rooms.

Housing for Local People, Crickhowell, Powys
A housing development for local people in a market town in rural Wales. The scheme consists of four flats and twenty houses, these being a mix of 2,3 and 4 bedroom units. We were involved from identifying the site through to construction and were therefore able to introduce elements of our design philosophy. These being design that avoids local vernacular mimicry and sustainability. The scheme is heated by ground source boreholes to a seperate building that contains the heat exchangers. From here the hot water is metered and piped to the dwellings which have underfloor heating. This scheme took too long to become reality and serve its real purpose of serving the needs of local people, to this end we are now actively involved in creating a framework to streamline this process
