Heritage Projects

Architecture 1B have extensive experience in heritage projects and aim to sensitively integrate contemporary architecture with historic buildings. We actively promote the careful restoration and reuse of our built heritage, but believe where an original use is no longer viable, that buildings must adapt to the changing social and cultural needs of contemporary society.

We do not feel the need to replicate the past, but understand the importance of researching the buildings history to inform our designs to ensure that any interventions and additions are appropriate and respectful to the original.

We are able to offer:

Design of new buildings or additions within historical contexts, Statements of Significance, Heritage Impact Statements, Conservation Management Plans, Assessment of visual impact of development on historic settings. Preparation of detailed drawings and submissions for Listed Building Consent, Conservation Area Consent and Scheduled Ancient Monument Consent
