Conservation

The conservation and sensitive conversion of older buildings either on their own or as part of a wider scheme is vital to the regeneration of our urban environment. Reconciling heritage issues with the needs of modern living can be difficult, and a fine balance between careful restoration and modern intervention must be drawn. We respect the sensitivities involved and invest a lot of time in the design, research and development stage to deliver the best possible solution.

“A pleasure to work with an architect who can combine great technical skills with the ability to see both the planning needs and the commercial realities of the property world”.
Trigram Properties

Challenges include tight city centre locations, interesting topographies, specifying and sourcing the right materials, and the final result sitting comfortably with adjacent buildings. We have worked on many projects that successfully and sympathetically combine old and new, and our team works closely with the local planning and conservation officers throughout the project to facilitate the process.
