They have also carried out the conversion to residential use of listed barns and groups of barns in a farmyard complex.

Listed buildings

As an associate partner in Ketley Gould and Clark he was responsible, among other projects, for the rebuilding of Debenhams Department store in Ipswich, a project of some 20000 square metres of new construction, with an equivalent current building cost of some £27 million.
The store was redeveloped in two phases allowing trading to continue on the site throughout the rebuilding and involved the installation of six new lifts and six escalators.

Rider Sale Associates look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate their design skills, experience and quality of service to new clients.
They have completed a range of successful projects and their future aim is to demonstrate their design skills by participating in suitable competitions.
Rider Sale's approach to design is to thoroughly research the project brief, while accepting that each scheme and site is unique and to produce the most advantageous design within the criteria as set out by the client. Within this framework they formulate their ideas and this approach allows them to confidently succeed in the design of multifarious building types.
