He is a leading expert in the design of Sports, Leisure and Retail schemes with a particular emphasis on integrating sports developments with other enabling developments such as residential and student accommodation.
Whilst at S&P Robert was responsible for designing and implementing some of the most innovative sports and leisure schemes built in the British Isles over the past 25 years including: the Irish National Aquatic Centre in Dublin, Cardiff International Pool, The Swiss Cottage Sports centre and Visage Residential Development, Aquadrome Basingstoke, Tonbridge Pool, Coral Reef Bracknell and many other Local Authority Sports Centre and Swimming Pools.
Robert’s expertise in Commercial Leisure is second to none and he has completed many schemes integrating multiplex cinemas, ten pin bowling centres, bingo clubs, night clubs, bars and restaurants, with completed schemes including LeisureWorld at Hemel Hempstead, Southampton and Coventry for Rank Leisure and Ocean Plaza Southport and Freeport Braintree Leisure Park. In the retail field Robert has completed Designer Outlet Malls for Freeport in Glasshoughton Yorkshire, Gothenburg Sweden and ‘Excalibur’ Czech Republic as well as designing the major shopping centre in Athens called ‘The Mall’.
Robert has a detailed understanding of mixed schemes where enabling developments fund sports facilities. This skill has been acquired through the design of schemes such as Hemel Hempstead where a commercial leisure development paid for an indoor waterpark, leisure ice rink and indoor bowls centre; Swiss Cottage where a residential development paid for a major Sports Centre and community centre; The Memorial Stadium, Bristol which includes student accommodation, offices and retail to pay for the stadium and Rodney Parade, Newport where a similar development plus a major residential scheme was also designed to pay for the stadium.
Robert has been responsible for the design and has gained planning permission for over 1500 student rooms and has a detailed knowledge of the standards and commercial requirements of major operators of this type of accommodation.
Robert is responsible for the Sports and Leisure work of Arturus Architects which includes the stadium for Bristol Rovers FC, the stadium for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, an arena in Brighton for BIA Ltd and a twenty-five metre leisure pool for Brean Leisure Park. Robert is also working on a number of schemes for rugby and lower league football clubs to bring them up to modern standards as well as carrying out feasibility studies for Local Authority Sports Centres.
