Historic Buildings

Are a resource for everyone to enjoy. But the cost of owning one is a responsibility that weighs heavily on many people’s shoulders. Practitioners working with these important buildings are tasked with a duty of care based on physical, historic and aesthetic evidence – as well as the intangible values of memory and sentiment.

Owners

Require specialist advice and guidance when dealing with their heritage building because there are layers of preparation required for every application and many local planning authorities are overstretched. Providing them with clear, well researched, accurate information will ultimately increase your chance of success when you want to make sympathetic changes.

Interior Designers

Can become overwhelmed with the type of advice required during a conservation led schedule of works on a significant building, but this shouldn’t put you off. Advice and guidance is available in many forms – you don’t have to be an architect to understand the sensitivity required to work with heritage buildings.
