squiresandbrown produced a masterplan
for our challenging, historic campus, which is
situated on the site of the Battle of Hastings.
Their approach was collaborative, creative
and sensitive and they have helped us to
make the very best use of our existing spaces.

"The team at squiresandbrown were
fantastic from start to finish. The vision for
the project was very much 'in my head' but
the team transferred this into the finished
design. On a personal note Helen and Tim
in particular have developed a unique ability
to know what I want before I even know it!

squiresandbrown were proactive, creative,
and meticulous in their approach. Their
friendly professionalism meant that they
were a pleasure to work with both during
the design process on site. We are delighted
with the end result and I would not hesitate
to recommend them.

We have decided to give the Rogers Theatre
the Malvern Civic Award 2019. We all went
away thinking we had seen a remarkable
building. There is an overwhelming feeling
of rightness of the whole project.
Generations of young people at the College
and, it is hoped, many of the general public
will benefit from these wonderful facilities.

Bradfield College has worked with
squiresandbrown on a number of projects.
They actively engage with the College at all
levels and through all stages of the design
process, meeting with stakeholders to
establish the brief, asking probing questions
to understand what the College is trying to
achieve to enable them to develop creative
designs that deliver on the brief.
We are continuing to work with
squiresandbrown on a number of exciting
and challenging projects and would be
happy to recommend them.

Seeing the pupils’ faces, as they arrived to
their new home, will stay with me for many
years. Their excitement, happiness and
sheer joy reflects how we feel as a boarding
school, knowing that many children will
thrive in this family environment. I am
delighted that we kept the history of the
building, whilst providing stunning,
modern facilities

John Squires is a visionary. I can honestly say that
working with him was a delightful experience
– he is vastly experienced and engenders trust
through his easy-to-talk to and honest attitude.
I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again and
recommend him unreservedly.

Our college theatre refurbishment is a
sensitive fusion of the old and the new –

created an ultra-modern, multi-purpose,
highly flexible studio space alongside an
existing Theatre auditorium now fully
equipped with 21st century stage
engineering and fabulous audience facilities.

When I am showing visitors round the
new department one of the things I tell
them is just how much we were involved
right from the beginning of the design
process. I feel that this was a very
important part of the process – it enabled
us to feel that we had a significant amount
of ownership of the project and that you
not only asked but listened and acted on
our wishes. For this we are very grateful.
