A HISTORIC APPOINTMENT

At the core of our practice is a deep interest and understanding of historic building techniques that stems from a conviction that, prior to taking on any contemporary design, we should first look back to tried and tested building methods before looking forward to modern invention. With this in mind we were delighted when our capabilities in handling historic buildings were recognised with our appointment for the careful restoration of this highly prestigious building. This run of terraces was designed by architect and co-founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Philip Webb. Alongside craftsman and designer William Morris, Webb pioneered an architectural movement which ardently fought against the rapid rise of manufactured consumer products (a direct by-product of the Industrial Revolution), and instead sought to advocate skilled craftsmanship and the production of unique, beautiful products. With a grade II* listing status we look forward to working on this unique building.
