Ferne Animal Sanctuary, Chard
An exciting new development programme for this rural based animal charity to improve on-site facilities in support of the animals in their care.
Melhuish & Saunders completed the first phase: a new hay barn with increased height to allow for greater storage capacity.
We look forward to tendering for the next phases!
RSPCA, South Cotswolds
This project was a Finalist in the 2018 RIBA South West Awards (Architects: Mitchell Eley Gould) - a new animal rehoming and rehabilitation shelter
for Cotswold Dogs and Cats Home.
Rangers Centre Ninesprings Country Park Yeovil
South Somerset District Council commissioned this detached single storey building to provide a base for park rangers and volunteers, which includes a coffee shop. The centre houses innovative water saving technology funded by a Sustainable Watermark Award from Wessex Water.
Libraries in Wellington, Chard and Minehead
Melhuish and Saunders were contracted by Somerset County Council to undertake various refurbishment works for 3 library sites in the county.
New tender invites regularly received owing to the company being on the Devon & Somerset Standing List of Approved Contractors (extended until end of March 2022).

Formerly opened by the Princess Royal in 2009 - the Somerset Earth Science Centre was the winner of the LABC Chairman's Award for its outstanding contribution to eco-building and the community.
