We are one of few architectural practices to employ a full time historical researcher trained in architectural and garden history.

Whether extending an existing house or restoring a historic property, our detailed research provides invaluable evidence of a building’s past, enabling us to create the most suitable and sympathetic proposal for each project. This process may involve investigation of land ownership, the different development phases and uses of a building or the growth and design of an estate or historic landscape. This method is also applied to our new buildings and masterplanning work. A detailed analysis of the area and its architecture, character and development, helps create designs that are in harmony with local building patterns.

If you are interested in having the history of your house, garden or estate researched, please contact us.
