We believe that simply maintaining the built environment and limiting deterioration is not enough. Our aim is to ensure buildings remain as living, working structures - meeting the needs of current and future users - whilst minimising their impact on the environment. To achieve this goal, we use a systematic and holistic approach to ensure the full potential of an existing building is reached before they deteriorate and become unusable – utilising all aspects of the building.
Historic buildings
Historically significant buildings require a special approach - understanding or ‘listening’ to the building is the key. We have worked on internationally important historic buildings and sites – collaborating closely with historic building protection authorities – providing solutions that are sympathetic to the historic building fabric and minimising irreversible interventions.
