The Red Lion is a Grade II* listed pub in Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, which has been in continuous ownership by the same family for around 140 years. The new owners are looking to preserve this important local cultural asset, through repairing and altering the existing building, to allow it to meet the current needs of the community. The building is suffering from the effects of cement render and prolonged neglect, and current sanitary provisions were in the external year yard.

Located in the town centre between the market square and the high street, the proposal looks to make the most of this dual frontage. A new extension allows the well orientated rear yard to be served in the warmer weather, creating an outdoor room in the town, whilst also allowing some much-needed upgrades to the existing facilities, including providing internal toilets. 

This project has been completed in collaboration with OCA Studio and Ashlee Babla.
