Selected Projects

The Richard Dunn Sports Centre, although closed, is now a listed building. This photo of one of the early models shows the open-plan layout with the free-form swimming pool, outdoor terraced garden and ramped entrance bridge [designed so people could get a look at all that was happening as they came in - this being an invitation to take part or to try something new].

Since living in Saltaire, in Bradford in the 1970s, Trevor has been fascinated by terraced housing, and its potential for the future. This birds-eye view shows new terraced housing built on a former bomb-site in Hindpool, in Barrow-in-Furness in 1984, replicating the older surrounding terraces, but with modern facilities, 'Parker-Morris' space standards and small non-overlooked private gardens [all upper-floor bedrooms overlook the front streets].

Ceredigion Museum, Aberystwyth.  Interior sketch of the museum, which moved in 1981 to new premises within the restored Coliseum Theatre.
