The Ram Quarter, London

Avanti Architects has been appointed to undertake lead consultant, architect, heritage and interior design services on the historic and iconic buildings of the former RAM Quarter. The project involves the refurbishment and conservation of a complex of eleven listed buildings (Grade II and II*) dating from between 1720 and 1880, to create residential units, retail and restaurant space and a museum, as part of a £1bn regeneration scheme.

Interventions in and around the existing buildings include the juxtaposition of new facades within a newly created public piazza.  The RAM museum is expressed using a new glazed façade that allows the historic copper vats, used previously in the brewing process, to be visible to the public.
