Sheppard Robson, on behalf of Consolidated Developments, has designed a unique building in London’s Theatreland. The concept will transform the Arts Theatre on Great Newport Street and revolutionise the theatre experience. The design incorporates a 62-bedroom hotel and a 160-cover high quality restaurant. The designs for the new theatre, hotel and restaurant are based on, and extend, the original concept for the Arts Theatre.

Sheppard Robson was appointed by the Ramada Marriott global framework to design the new Encore range of three-star, premium budget hotels for worldwide use. After studying the European prefabrication industry, two selected suppliers manufactured prototypes. Acting as the client’s representative for scheme and detail design, Sheppard Robson monitored the initial roll-out programme, assisting with the localisation of the concept design.

The Micro Brewery is part of a larger scheme to develop a new city quarter within Bristol city centre. The site, once owned by Courage Breweries, is being developed by HDG Mansur and Sheppard Robson in to a mixed-use development of retail, residential and commercial buildings. New apartments will coexist with Grade II listed buildings and original façades to invigorate the harbour front in what was once a derelict area.

In considering the masterplan strategy for the mixed-use regeneration scheme at Spinningfields in Manchester, Sheppard Robson looked beyond the client’s pragmatic concerns and brief to identify opportunities for urban intervention and transformational architectural concepts. Spinningfields Square was identified as one of the most important public spaces, terminating the axis from Albert Square, adjacent to Deansgate (a primary thoroughfare through Manchester city centre) and neighbouring the Grade I listed Rylands Library

The masterplan for SportCity was driven by the aspirations of the communities and individuals it will serve. Sheppard Robson’s aim is to create a development that inspires participation and integrates physically, economically and socially with the locality. SportCity is about more than sport, leisure and entertainment. It will be a physical embodiment of Manchester’s social aspirations and will be a driving force of economic change in the area.

Trocadero lies at the fulcrum of four major central London streets, Haymarket, Piccadilly, Regent Street and Coventry Street, and is a major West End site in need of redevelopment. Sheppard Robson has developed proposals to revitalise the Trocadero, a building with four Grade II listed façades, through a reorganisation of its vacant space. The project will be ready to showcase at the 2012 London Olympics.
