Our approach to Heritage is multifaceted – our process is interpretive and analytical and derived from your requirements in conjunction with your site/building’s context, features and planning and heritage requirements.
We love the challenge of what heritage projects bring and require – the archival investigation and research reveal the story of your site – as we move toward the design process with you we will seek and find handsome/elegant design solutions; these can be simple or complex in terms of the architecture/architectural expression reflecting your requirements and likes.
The Practice offers services related to Architecture, Urban Design and Specialist Heritage Advice. The scope and nature of projects undertaken varies considerably from Residential [Individual Homes to Multi-Res.] to Commercial, through to Community Works, with sustainability being key. Our knowledge and experience regarding Construction, Planning & Environmental and Heritage Legislation underpins the Practice.

– Pre-permit + Feasibility Advice
