Heritage & Stonework Projects

If you’re contemplating works to a historic building, 1 Architects can help. We have more than 40 years’ combined experience in restoring, refurbishing and extending historic buildings, and  in dealing with listed structures anywhere in scope from a fisherman’s storage shed to a large Highland estate.

The tension between the old and the new is demanding but exciting; to justify any alterations you need to understand the character of the existing. You must develop a respect for the building so that the impact of any new work is minimal, with new elements added only where repair work would be impractical.

Historic buildings are complicated, and mistakes can be expensive; you need an expert who can help you navigate the complex legislation, and who can work with the relevant conservation bodies. 1 Architects will be delighted to assist.
