Happy to help - NHS projects for RUH Bath
Following our work last year to upgrade a series of wards at the Royal United Hospital Bath, we are pleased to announce that we have now been appointed as architects for a number of other projects at the hospital. These include refurbishment work to the Radiotherapy Department and re-organisation of a Day Surgery Unit to improve efficiency in the hospital.
Completion of New Sixth Form Annexe
O’LearyGoss Architects won the commission to design an exciting new building for Clifton High School's Sixth Form in 2020. Following a trouble free journey through planning (LB and CA consents required), permission was granted in early 2021 and O’LearyGoss continued as Clifton High’s architects with full duties through all RIBA stages.

Affordable apartment block nearing completion
The scaffolding has started to come down around our project on Leicester Street in Bedminster, revealing the 26 apartment building for Crown Developments.
New year, new planning permission
A lovely way to start 2023, with a grant of planning permission for a large new house at Yate Rocks just north of Bristol.
This is the final phase of a project that began nearly 12 years ago when we were asked to look at a former farmhouse and outbuildings bequeathed to a charity. In the meantime the farmhouse has been restored, and a former outbuilding converted to a house. We have also seen three new houses to our designs built on the site of former stables and piggeries, all creating a lovely courtyard development with extensive views over the Bristol Channel.
Sustainable apartments in historic location
Our scheme at 129 Cumberland Road for Acorn Property Group (opposite the Aardman Studio) has been submitted for planning. Sited close to the historic SS Great Britain, the apartments are designed to be highly sustainable, including air source heat pumps. The development also includes work to extend and improve the existing commercial use of the adjacent Georgian House.
Extension to care home in Cornwall submitted for planning
We have recently submitted a planning application for an extension to a residential care home for people over 65 with dementia. Located in Cornwall, the timber clad buildings will provide 23 additional bedrooms. The development will also create two protected courtyards, which with careful landscaping will provide safe and enjoyable outside spaces for residents.
Clifton High School Sixth Form Annexe - on site
We are delighted to share that construction has started on our Sixth Form Centre Annex for Clifton High School. This exciting modern extension will join onto the Sixth Form Centre, creating a presentation and social space.
As well as traditional duties during construction, we are looking forward to working with the school to help them make the most of the educational opportunities presented by such a project.
OL’G@30 Past projects - Bridge House
Since launching in 2007 this remains one of Bristol's most sought-after addresses. Our designs for the conversion of the former Victorian Hotel in the Conservation Area of Clifton into 18 large apartments included the reinstatement of the original mansard roof to make room for three spacious penthouses. Each of these had a roof top terrace. The other apartments were each just as stunning.
