Listed Buildings
The use of passive design solutions and careful integration of modern M&E services within listed buildings.
We are most fortunate to have worked on many iconic heritage buildings across the UK. Our role is typically a bespoke service tailoring the needs of the client with the needs of the project but aligning these sympathetically with the architecture of the listed buildings. We are acutely aware that the opportunities to add new services into listed buildings can be challenging as they are often not constructed to accommodate this, so our start point is to look to provide a holistic and passive approach to the design, which can often be strongly in keeping with the thermal mass of many historic structures.
Where additional interventions are necessary, we would seek to make these ‘reversable’ to comply with the conservation officer or for any listed building consent. We have also developed a series of tools and ‘cheats’ to ensure historical integrity but also still achieve modernisation of the project to satisfy a wider brief.
Our team also understand that historic buildings have survived through careful management and maintenance, often supported through generous ventilation and awareness of cold bridging, so any solutions adopted firstly need to respect how the existing building fabric breathes.
