architecture & design

LRA Retinue is a RIBA Chartered, award winning studio based in Brighton and London. 

 

Since founding the practice in 2007, Liam's vision was to create inspiring, innovative and rewarding-for-all architecture.

 

Each member of the team who has since joined the practice shares both this vision and a genuine belief that buildings should be beautiful, engaging and thought-provoking. The practice strongly believes that architecture can help to positively shape the way in which people live their lives and every project the practice delivers has this approach.

our vision

We believe in architecture with purpose - design that serves people and the planet, today and for future generations. Guided by a fresh, ethical approach, lrar strives to balance beauty, context, and sustainability in every project.

The practice is increasingly involved in regeneration in all its forms – from the smallest to the largest projects, from the more subtle and discreet to the most overt and encompassing. No matter what the context, the same desire pervades; to leave a positive, lasting legacy that is timeless and joyful.

 

Reinvigorating and breathing life into areas, whilst respecting the local environment, supporting sustainability, cultural diversity and the people that inhabit and use those spaces.

 

Sustainability is integral to what we do and as members of the AECB (Association for Environment Conscious Building) we encourage all our clients to engage in this way of thinking.
