Britain’s culture and economy are greatly influenced by and reliant upon historic buildings, and we believe that these architectural treasures can also assume a prominent position in combatting climate change.
Preserving the aesthetic allure and historic significance of a building is paramount when embarking on a retrofit endeavour, requiring careful consideration of its original construction. Additionally, each building project mandates an approach customised to its specific context.
It is crucial to recognise and differentiate the inherent qualities of traditional buildings from their modern counterparts, as this differentiation demands a distinct understanding, skill set, and material solutions.
