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.

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.
