CONSERVATION

Our conservation work is grounded in an ethical, thoughtful approach to repairing, enhancing and re-using historic buildings and sites. We see heritage as a vital part of a circular, low-carbon future, and we work to unlock the potential of existing places so they continue to serve communities for generations.

We collaborate closely with Historic England, Historic Environment Scotland, Cadw, planning authorities and other conservation bodies to understand the significance and value of each asset before any intervention begins. Our conservation-accredited architects work hand-in-hand with archaeologists, conservators and specialist craftspeople to balance heritage sensitivity with the technical demands of modern use, for example as part of larger retrofit projects.

Where appropriate, we prepare Conservation Management Plans to guide responsible, evidence-led decisions. Each building is treated individually, with early engagement across heritage stakeholders and local communities shaping our approach. By interpreting context, social history and evolving architectural intent, we design interventions that blend old and new with clarity and respect. The result is adaptive reuse that strengthens character, reduces waste and delivers sustainable, future-ready places.
