Rural Office for Architecture (ROA) is a multi-award winning architectural practice based in Wales. The practice is based in Carmarthenshire, but works across the UK. The practice specialises in bespoke high quality design solutions across a range of sectors for residential, commercial, arts, educational and civic projects. ROA was recently selected by the Architecture Foundation as one of the best emerging practices in the UK, and featured by Rowan Moore in the Observer as one of the best small practices. The practice has won a RIBA award for every project it has completed since 2012, recently winning RIBA House of the Year 2017 and receiving a RIBA National Award for its ground breaking Carbon Neutral Estate, Caring Wood in Kent. In 2015 they won the Grand Designs ‘Self Build on a Shoestring’ competition, and continue to win competitions, most recently the Visit Wales Epic Retreats, which was televised on Channel 4 this summer.
