Architectural Services for Building Conservation
Rena Pitsilli-Graham Architect undertakes the careful repair and conservation of historic buildings using Rena’s wide experience in both the technical and philosophical aspects of conservation. The practice ethos is firmly based on the principles of conservative repair and minimum intervention. Painstaking attention to detail in all matters relating to architectural conservation ensures the highest possible quality within the available resources. Working with clients to understand their requirements, helping them to develop their brief and to realise their vision for the building in their care, is a rewarding part of the process. Each project is approached with fresh eyes, keen interest, dedication and commitment.
