Heritage

With the 2050 net zero target now firmly established, it is worth reflecting on the fact that 80% of the buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been built. This places our existing built heritage firmly in the frame in terms of the ability to meet these targets given that this is where the bulk of the work will need to be done.

We have a proud track record of sustaining and safeguarding valued heritage buildings and adaptive reuse projects to result in creative and contemporary spaces.

Our passionate curiosity about buildings and places commences with a detailed research process to fully understand the historical context, the retained built fabric, materials and craftsmanship of the original building.
