Commercial Conservation Architects
‘Repointing an ashlar sandstone wall in cement rather than lime putty mortar is like darning a blue cashmere sweater with red nylon thread.’
How we upgrade historic commercial buildings
We can often save a commercial building from further decay by a program of works which put right the results of a long period of neglect or underuse. We also explore ways to get the best out of them by improving comfort and energy performance.
How we conserve historic buildings in Scotland
What we do
Conservation architecture is the process of recognising historic buildings which are of cultural or heritage value and taking action to preserve or retain them. Often a building is saved from further decay by a program of works which put right the results of a long period of neglect or underuse.
At Thomas Robinson Architects, we can breathe new life into a structure. Through contemporary design, we enable a new use or simply perform repairs that will allow the building to be used again.
