We are a small, flexible team specialising in the conservation of earth and stone buildings
using traditional, sustainable materials and techniques. We underpin our design for
conservation by developing an intimate understanding of the history, construction and
condition of each building that we engage with. This approach ensures that the virtues of
material perfomance and cultural significance are maintained and enhanced to the full
We endeavour to use locally sourced materials wherever possible to maximise both
compatibility and authenticity. This includes the production of locally specific building
limes using our own kiln
With previous experience of projects across the UK, as well as in the USA and Spain, we
take pride in drawing upon both regional and international conservation perspectives.
