heritage
A key specialism of the practice has been realised through the delivery of projects where heritage issues are key. We have positively utilised the challenges and opportunities that emerge from sites with heritage sensitivity; world heritage sites; conservation areas; listed buildings and registered parks and gardens; to develop pure heritage restoration or contemporary 21st century sites where heritage is an integral part.
