HERITAGE
Kyson have long held the belief that any architecture of today is only successful because of the historic precedent set before it. As such, through extensive research and experience we have over time developed a strong knowledge of our country’s building heritage and a great understanding of historical building techniques, all of which combines to add further dimension and integrity to each of our projects.
Since our inception we have worked on many heritage projects of varying scales, across some of the many historic and sensitive sites with recent commissions working on buildings designed by prestigious architects such as founder of the Arts & Crafts Movement Philip Webb, Neo-classical architect Robert Adam and Victorian architect CHB Quennell. Following in the footsteps of our predecessors, at the heart of our practice is a commitment to produce honest, well-crafted architecture that is true of its time yet affirming of the past.
See our journal article here whereby we share our understanding and approach to the careful and sensitive treatment and restoration of our country’s building stock, be that in the restoration of a building back to its original intent, or the re-purposing of a building through modern intervention. With all our projects, regardless of size or scope, we seek to deliver an outcome that is of exceptional quality that matches our commitment to producing beautiful design.
Working on heritage projects raises many questions and obstacles unique to each building that often require complex solutions and design approaches. The case studies below showcase several of our most recent heritage projects with explanations of the heritage obstacles that we had to overcome in each case to enable a successful outcome.
