October 9 2009
Designed by RMJM the former brewery HQ has split architectural opinion on its relative merits but it was the difficulty in securing tenants which prompted developer Rumney Manor to start from scratch.
Archial stress an understanding of topography and the surrounding conservation area in their approach by retaining an existing stone wall and mature trees.

Really? Anyone with a real interest in quality architecture I suspect won't agree. It's very bad indeed.
The RMJM building (in a conservation area) should have stayed. Exactly why it was given permission for demolition could do with some investigation.
