The Shire Hall, Llandeilo

In 2016, Darkin Architects successfully won a competitive tender to provide Architect's services in relation to the renovation of the Shire Hall in Llandeilo. Menter Bro Dinefwr appointed Darkin Architects to redesign the building to accommodate their offices, the offices of Llandeilo Town Council and a Heritage Centre.

Although the building isn't listed, it is a historic building within Llandeilo's conservation area and has had to be designed with this in mind.

To date, Darkin Architects have gained planning consent for the refurbishment and assisted Menter Bro Dinefwr in obtaining Capital Asset Transfer Funding from the National Lottery. Prior to submitting for Planning or the funding bid, we held a public consultation to showcase the design and gained a 100% positive response from the public. This was one of the first projects in which we utilised Virtual Reality to show the scheme to the public.

The project is currently out to tender to contractors with works due to start on site in the near future.
