AB Roger & Young Ltd

Chartered Architect | Surveyors | Planners AB Roger & Young Architects Ltd is an architects firm located within the heart of Angus in the city of Brechin.

Originally established in 1897 by Mr D Wishart Galloway the practice ran for a number of years before being taken over by Dundee practice Maclaren Soutar and Salmond in 1929 following the death of Galloway in a fatal car accident. In the 1940’s the practice was once again taken over, this time by Mr A B Roger who eventually in turn absorbed Honeyman's of Montrose during the 1950’s. AB Roger then o

perated a satellite branch within Montrose until around 1970. Mr A B Roger retired from the practice in 1965 which was the same year Mr Peter Young was assumed into partnership, rebranding the business as A B Roger & Young. Mr Robert Fraser became a partner in AB Roger & Young in 1978 before becoming sole practitioner in 1993 following Mr Young’s retirement. In 2006 Ashleigh Wilson and Stephen Pirie were made junior partners in the business, then when Robert Fraser retired (Aged 64) in 2011, Ms Wilson and Mr Pirie became joint partners and owners of the practice. Currently we have 5 members of staff:

We were delighted to be appointed to undertake a feasibility study exploring the regeneration potential of the former Forfar Swimming Pool.

Drawing on our experience in adaptive reuse, commercial architecture and the redevelopment of existing buildings, we developed a concept that responds to the distinctive character and generous scale of the original pool hall.

The study explores how this building could be transformed into a vibrant games and leisure destination, bringing together bowling, shuffleboard, pool, arcade games, axe throwing, a clay-pigeon simulator as well as food and drink facilities. The concept retains and celebrates the dramatic existing roof structure, introducing new floors and activity spaces to make effective use of the building’s impressive volume.

Successful town-center regeneration relies on identifying viable new uses for prominent existing buildings. This study demonstrates how the former pool could once again become a destination, attracting visitors, increasing footfall and supporting the wider rejuvenation of Forfar town centre and its High street.

The building is now being offered for sale, presenting an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to unlock its potential.

Our images show a feasibility concept prepared to illustrate one potential future use of the building - What do you think??

Planning Approval received for this extension in Aberdeenshire. Using locally sourced natural materials, this simple modern design has been carefully positioned to respect neighbours and the existing building. Creating much needed quality additional living space, the design improves thermal performance, lowers running costs and strengthens the home’s connection to the surrounding garden and landscape.

One of our current projects with stunning views along the Aberdeenshire & Angus Coastline. We provided a sympathetic design that follows the form, mass and scale of the existing building coupled with high performance insulation and vapour open construction to provide a very energy efficient building while at the same time managing potential moisture issues common with older buildings of this era. Our client wished to maximise their views towards the coast with large glazing positioned to capture and frame the scenery. At the same time we installed sliding natural timber louvres to combat potential overheating from its South facing location.

At ABRY Architects, we bring your vision to life long before construction begins.
Our in-house 3D visualisations let you explore your design in detail, empowering you to make confident decisions and play a dynamic role in shaping your project.
