MUSEUMS OF WALES

The National Library of Wales Location: Cardiff Expertise Areas: Architecture, Building Services, Principal Designer As part of a wider framework with National Museums of Wales, we have worked on numerous projects for the National Library of Wales. Located within a Grade II* Historic Park and Garden in Aberystwyth, the National Library holds a prominent status as the largest library in Wales, with a collection exceeding 6.5 million books and other significant holdings.

DECARBONISATION As lead consultant, project architects and MEP engineers, we are continuing to develop comprehensive strategies aimed at significantly decreasing the library’s carbon footprint and eliminating fossil fuel usage by 2028.

The core of the project involves replacing the library’s existing gas-fired boilers with Reversible Air Source and Ground Source Heat Pumps. This transition not only eliminates reliance on fossil fuels but also addresses both heating and cooling requirements. By utilising Reversible Heat Pumps, we can effectively manage heating and cooling loads, rendering the existing inefficient Chiller Units and 5MW Gas Boilers obsolete.

The integration of solar panels further enhances energy sustainability. With a surface area of over 3500m2, these panels produce approximately 700kW of energy, equivalent to 116,000 typical LED light bulbs.

The project extends beyond energy systems to include enhancements in building fabric and thermal insulation. This involves the installation of new windows and secondary glazing while respecting the architectural and heritage significance of the building. In areas of lesser architectural significance, new replacement windows will be integrated, while areas of greater significance will receive new secondary glazing and window repairs to maintain their integrity.

As a Grade II* Listed Building, meticulous planning and coordination has been essential. We are working closely with Planning and Listed Building Consent departments, ensuring alignment with local authorities and Cadw, the Welsh Government’s historic environment agency. Every design decision prioritises reversibility and decommissioning, preserving the building’s integrity and enabling future adaptability.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE The Visitor Experience at the National Library of Wales is a project which improved public access to the Library’s vast collections.

This prestigious project was phased into two main elements.

The first phase involved the renovation and remodelling of the public facilities within the building, including the design of new exhibition spaces, education facilities, and shop and restaurant areas.

Phase 2 included the creation of the ‘DRWM’, a new structure which in-filled one of the library’s original courtyard spaces.

This elliptical drum structure houses a lecture theatre / cinema space, which has become an integral facility in the library’s mission to provide access to the collection. It also houses Hengwrt Gallery, a space where the rarest and most valuable of the collections, ranging from unique manuscripts to Turner watercolours, can be displayed in a controlled environment.

HISTORIC ARCHIVE EXTENSION The extension project involved the sympathetic extension of the listed building to house additional offices and archive facilities.

The extension was required to respect the architectural style of the original library building, while employing a highly efficient system using the latest technology for document storage.

This included extraordinarily high loading for the book stack, capable of providing capacity for the next 30 years, and specialist multimedia storage including a Faraday cage.

The project was followed by a feasibility study for a Visitor Centre to both improve interpretation of the written works of Wales and create new revenue streams. Phase 2 was for these to be extended to revenue earning online access.

An atrium separates the book stack from the offices with glazed walkways and lifting linking the two spaces.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

The result was a specialist six-storey structure to provide a controlled environment and special safety installations for the conservation of one of Britain’s Copyright Libraries.

PEMBROKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

South Quay Development Location: South Quay, Pembrokshire Expertise Areas: Architecture

Phase 1 - Funded by the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns programme, this phase will celebrate the town’s legacy as the birthplace of the Tudor dynasty with:

A Henry Tudor Visitor Centre

A library, information centre, and café

Landscaped gardens

Phase 2 - The Pembrokeshire Hwb Funded by the UK Government’s Levelling Up programme, this phase will complete the South Quay regeneration, focusing on numbers 7 and 8 Northgate Street. It will include:

A three-storey community hub for day opportunities, digital media, art, heritage craft activities, and learning and skills areas to support independent living for all ages

Environmental enhancements with building restorations, a new sunken garden, and improved parking

Better access between the Henry Tudor Visitor Centre and the waterfront

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

As part of Pembrokeshire County Council’s regeneration programme, this transformative project aims to redevelop the historic and prominent South Quay site next to Pembroke Castle. The development, planned in two phases, will bring a diverse and sustainable mix of new uses to the town.

PEMBROKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Haverfordwest Gaol Location: South Quay, Pembrokshire Expertise Areas: Architecture

The building was originally constructed in the 1800’s as a prison and was then converted in the mid 1960’s to become a County Archive facility.

Many of the original prison features and ancillary buildings were removed and replaced with more contemporary additions which have not been considered as having any heritage significance by CADW or Pembrokeshire County Council’s Conservation Team. In re-purposing the existing building there is therefore an opportunity to remove the 1960’s additions to allow more appropriate replacements to serve the new intended use as a

visitor attraction.

DB3 developed a design which sought to maximise and enhance the significant features of the original building through careful demolition and construction of new extensions. A new extension was proposed on the principal south façade providing a two-storey atrium feature for orientation, and welcome. This new feature also provided an easterly emphasis towards the adjacent monument with both visual and physical connections to the Inner Ward and events taking place within it. The scheme also included a destination café, also located within the atrium, as well as a large education centre to accommodate visiting school parties.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

The scheme involves the refurbishment of the former County Gâol at Haverfordwest Castle, to provide a new visitor attraction. The building is Grade II Listed and sits within the bounds of a Scheduled Monument, Haverfordwest Castle. The client wished to repurpose the building to provide new exhibition and education facilities as well as café, retail and support space. The building is also seen as a precursor to visits to the adjacent castle itself and as well as providing ticketing and related facilities also provides support space for events and performances taking place within the Inner Ward of the adjacent castle structure.

COLLINS CONSTRUCTION

Alder Castle Location: Cardiff

Expertise Areas: Architecture The Alder Castle project is a refurbishment of a multi-tenanted office building in the heart of London’s St. Paul’s area. Situated along the London Wall and bordered by the St. Anne and St. Agnes Churchyard, the site holds a prime position within the Foster Lane conservation area.

The redesign will focus on the lower ground to second floors, blending modern functionality with respect for the building’s heritage. Planned structural changes on the ground and first floors include a double-height extension over the existing lower ground light well, creating an airy, inviting space. To improve the entry experience, the current access bridge will be replaced, making way for a larger reception area.

As part of the upgrades, new amenities will be added to enrich the experience for future occupants. The entrance itself will be reconfigured, with the removal of the corner glazed façade and the addition of terraces above the new reception area, bringing natural light and outdoor space into the building’s core.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

A full CAT A refurbishment across the ground, first, and second office floors will revamp office spaces, WC blocks, core finishes, and lighting. At the lower ground level, existing car parking, cycle racks, and shower facilities will be replaced, while the entrance ramp and front courtyard are updated to bring the whole space up to modern standards.

NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL

Nottingham Castle Location: Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Expertise Areas: Architecture Nottingham City Council commissioned DB3 to develop a concept to realise English Heritage’s desire to reinstate the south facing terrace area, supported on reinforced concrete slab finished in limestone paving slabs.

The terrace structure is enclosed by the new Ashlar stone finished balustrade, which is supported on a 10m high cavity retaining wall consisting of limestone to the outer skin, concrete blockwork to the inner skin and reinforced concrete cavity.

The design is contextual and sympathetic to its immediate environment whilst also richly articulated, utilising contemporary materials such as glass and stainless steel against the existing sandstone of the Ducal Palace and historic rock face.

By reinstating the terrace area, the design now allows visitors, including young children and wheelchair users, the opportunity to enjoy unobstructed panoramic views of Nottingham through the new fully glazed section of balustrade.

MUSEUMS OF WALES

Sain Ffagan National Museum of History Location: Cardiff Expertise Areas: Architecture

Surveys were carried out that identified that the administration block required essential maintenance work. Prior to implementing any

remedial work, the opportunity was taken

by Museum Wales to look at how different interventions could reduce carbon emissions.

Following on from this Museum Wales received funding to explore Passivhaus retrofit – Enerphit for this project. A fabric first approach has been taken during stage 3 to look at how Enerphit can best be achieved.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

DB3 were appointed by Museum Wales as the architect and Passivhaus consultants, up to RIBA stage 3, on the refurbishment of the Grade II listed administration building at St. Fagans National Museum of History.

CADW

Denbigh Castle Visitor Centre Location: Denbigh, Denbighshire Expertise Areas: Sustainabiliy

The presentation and interpretation of the castle and walls were improved, enhancing links with the wider historic landscape.

DB3 is the Design & Build Architect to Grosvenor Construction Ltd on the project originally designed

by Ferguson Mann Architects.

The project involved the demolition of the existing

visitor building and archaeological investigations in advance of the main construction works.

The building achieved “Very Good” BREEAM rating and EPC ‘A’ rating. Sustainable features include a sedum roof with associated bio-diverse planting, a ground source heat pump, photovoltaic cells, low energy light fittings and controls together with water-saving fittings. The timber for the building has been responsibly sourced and aggregates recycled from the demolition materials of the previous building. The gabions have been faced with the stonework of the previous facilities.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

Work has been completed on the new Visitor Centre at Denbigh Castle. The conservation work forms part of the CADW initiative to maximise visitor potential at its major historic landmarks and to improve general visitor access.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC

Concert Hall Refurbishment

Location: South Kensington, London Expertise Areas: Architecture

The client’s brief called for the restoration of the entire hall, including the provision of acoustic isolation and the improvement of the hall as an important and inspiring 21st century facility for college use as well as external hire.

We were able to take this opportunity to completely remove and replace the tired air

conditioning, heating and audio systems and replace them with state of the art equipment. In order to achieve this transformation, the vaulted plaster ceiling had to be carefully removed and new panels especially fabricated to perfectly match the originals.

The works encompassed the addition of specialist high tech equipment for sound and communication systems including music and video recording. The insertions are discreet and elegant and are kept in harmony with the original architecture of the hall.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

DB3 acted as Architect and CDMC for a project to restore the concert hall to its original architectural delight. The concert hall opened in 1901 and has since been used constantly for teaching, rehearsal and performance of classical music.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WALES

Main Hall Restoration Location: Cardiff, Wales Expertise Areas: Architecture DB3’s long and productive relationship with the National Museum of Wales is further extended through current projects at the National Museum Cardiff; a Grade 1 listed neoclassical building.

Following our initial appointment as leader of a multi-disciplinary design team we carried out surveys and prepared designs for several packages of work, starting with the insertion of acoustic panels into the Main Hall – a hugely impressive domed space – to rectify its poor acoustics and allow it to be used for conferences and banquets.

We used the results of a drone survey to build a computerised 3d model of the roof. Security, weatherproofing and safety are vital components of the project, due to the priceless contents of the building, including temporary exhibitions which require phasing of the construction work.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

One of the other packages involves repairs, replacements and conservation work to the building’s complicated roof scape, including the addition of new rainwater pipes. We have carried out detailed condition surveys, followed by concept and detailed design work.

WARWICK TOWN COUNCIL

The Court House Warwick Location: Warwick, Warwickshire Expertise Areas: Architecture The Court House on Jury Street Warwick by Francis Smith 1724-31 is a listed Grade I and is located within the Warwick Conservation Area and includes ironwork by Thomas Paris and Benjamin Taylor.

DB3 worked with Warwick Town Council on the refurbishment of the Court House Warwick under the “Unlocking Warwick” Initiative.

The work involved alteration and refurbishment of the Visitor Centre and Yeomanry Museum, which included general improvement to the existing access arrangements, involving the installation of a new platform lift, specialist masonry repair in the insertion of new rear entrance doors, the installation of new exterior lighting to rear elevation, insertion of two glass canopies, installation of heating / ventilation to

the basement, replacement floor joists to the Assembly Room and phased repairs /conservation of the two coats of arms and lead statue to front elevation.

The work also included the refurbishment of the fine ballroom, which is used to host civic receptions.

The alterations formed part of a wider project, “Unlocking Warwick”, which aimed to improve access to and information on the historic Grade I listed building and on the wider interest of the historic town of Warwick. This ensured the long term protection of the building and provides information for visitors on the building, its conservation and place in the history of the town.

HALAMAR

Chancery Lane Location: City of London Expertise Areas: Architecture

The existing restaurant and retailer tentants on the group, floor continued to trade throughout the constructution works.

Access to the site was difficult, Chancery Lane being one way, and the buildings located mid terrace.

The neighbouring buildings’ means of escape was through the building at forth floor level and

exiting to the street. This route had to be rerouted to accommodate the revised layout, but also had to be maintained both throughout the works, but also in the finished building.

The project achieved BREEAM Very Good. Great care was taken when constructing the new fifth floor, to match the existing mansard in every respect.

As part of the refurbishment works, the buildings were upgraded thermally and acoustically to current regulations, whilst maintaining the listed structure. All finishes were agreed with Westminster Historic Buildings Department.

DB3 Conservation & Heritage

A refurbishment and change of use of a group of listed buildings in London’s Chancery Lane, from office to residential, this project included the construction of two rooftop penthouse apartments, and 44 one, two and three bed luxury apartments.

MACHYNLLETH TOWN COUNCIL

Castlereagh Memorial Clock Location: Machynlleth, Wales Expertise Area: DB3 worked on the first phase of the restoration of the Castlereagh Memorial Clock, which is a prominent feature in the centre of Machynlleth, Powys.

The work involved the cleaning and emergency repairs to the crenelated masonry, the repair of the existing clock mechanism and the modification of the rainwater disposal system in order to prevent future deterioration. The second phase of work involved the installation of a safe access system internally.

The work on the first phase was funded by the Machynlleth Town Council, Powys County Council and CADW under the Township Partnership

Scheme and through local fundraising efforts. The masonry repairs were carried out by Grosvenor Construction Ltd. The town clock was built on the site of the Old Town Hall with a market hall at ground floor level. The clock was built to mark the coming of age of Charles Stuart Vane-Tempest, Viscount Castlereagh, the eldest son of the Fifth Marquess of Londonderry. The foundation stone was laid during the festivities that took place on the 15 July 1874.

SWANSEA UNIVERSITY

Singleton Abbey Location: Swansea, County of Glamorgan

The Grade II Listed Singleton Abbey is the focal point of Swansea University’s Vice Chancellor’s Department and its central administration hub.

The DB3 team completed a Conservation Management Plan for the Abbey buildings and were then involved in a programme of conservation work and fabric repairs. The initial phase of work involved the replacement of ashlar dressings, finials and copings, window repairs and the cleaning and re-rendering of the East Elevation.

The Singleton Abbey Estate was the Swansea home of the Vivian family who came to Swansea after extending their corporate concerns into South Wales during the early 19th Century.

The Tudor style mansion gradually evolved from the original octagonal mansion built on the site for Edward King (Collector of Taxes to the port of Swansea) begun in 1782 to the designs of William Jernegan.

The most significant “Tudor style” alterations were carried out circa 1837 to the designs of P. F. Robinson for John Henry Viivian and it was about this time that the Estate was re-named Singleton after the original farm which had been absorbed into the estate. The house and estate were eventually sold in 1919 to the Swansea Corporation. The new university was established on the site in 1920 and the house became the university’s main administrative building.

The University of Leicester Engineering building has been hailed as one of the top 10 most inspiring buildings in the UK. It has been cited in a new national list of famous structures that includes Hadrian’s Wall and Stonehenge.

of the drawings remaining in the UK. The project developed into the preparation of a Significance Statement and Conservation Management Plan for the engineering workshop and tower to enable future development.

Designed by James Stirling and James Gowan, it has already received the distinction of a Grade II* Listing from the Department of National Heritage in 1993. The building was designed and built between 1959-63.

The DB3 team were involved in the development of a Heritage Partnership Agreement between the University and the Local Authority to assist in streamlining the decision making process related to works of repair or replacement of external fabric and internal fixtures and fittings in Listed buildings. This allowed the University to securely plan and to schedule future works on the Engineering Building in a rational and proactive way.

The brief originally included a feasibility study to increase the functional spaces within the building. This work led to research into the Leicester University Archives to examine some
