Project, Cheshire Dogs' Home, Warrington

This 4,000 sq ft new build care facility for the Cheshire Dogs' Home was completed in 2007.

Randle White was approached in late 2005 by the dogs' home to design a new property to support their existing kennel facility. Based in the Northwest and acting as a charitable organisation, the Cheshire Dogs' Home were in need of a dedicated maternity and special needs unit for the numerous stray dogs they receive on a weekly basis.

Randle White was employed to act as lead designer on the project, directing the design process and co-ordinating all of the construction elements. Working closely with Michael Flynn Associates as project managers and quantity surveyors, the development was completed under JCT Design and Build contract with Randle White novated at RIBA work stage E,F to act on behalf of the successful contractor, P.J. Building Services.

With over sailing roofs to provide shading to feature openings, bespoke stainless steel shutters and cedar board cladding to the principal elevations, this portal frame building has met all the clients expectations and now provides a very important facility for our four legged friends.
