Leicester architect launches Birmingham office
Architecture practice rg+p has expanded to launch its third studio in Birmingham.
rg+p has taken space at 1 Newhall Street. Initially, the practice will offer architectural and QS/PM services from the new studio, with other disciplines set to be added in 2020. Architect Lauren Raybould and senior QS/PM Arron Iliffe will lead the Birmingham team.
“Birmingham has bold development plans and a vibrant business community which we’re excited to contribute to,” said rg+p’s director, James Badley.
He added: “Opening in a third location had always been part of our long-term business plan and with more of our work originating in the West Midlands, Birmingham seemed a natural choice. We’ve spent the last 12 months getting to know the businesses, local authorities and organisations that are now our neighbours and look forward to building our portfolio across the region.”
Rob Woolston, director, added: “Obviously this is a big milestone for our practice, and as the current Insider Midlands Residential Property Awards Architectural Practice of the Year, we were keen to build on this profile and establish a permanent position in Birmingham. We were pleased to be joined by so many of the city’s professionals at Primitivo and look forward to their continued support as the business grows.”
Some of rg+p’s flagship projects in the West Midlands include the £40 million Bath Row student accommodation development in Birmingham; Coventry’s tallest building, Fairfax Street student accommodation; and several residential development schemes with Bromford, St Modwen and Kier.
