Wakefield Tower
Byward Tower
Working closely with Historic Royal Palaces surveyors and archaeologists and English Heritage, the practice has been responsible for a number of conservation projects at the Tower of London World Heritage site and at Hampton Court. These include stonework conservation to the 12th century South Curtain Wall, stone and timber repairs to the Byward Tower and the design of a new conical lead roof to the 13th century Wakefield Tower. This project was a finalist in the RICS Conservation Awards, London Region, 2005.
Kosmac Fortress
For the Council of Europe we are engaged on a project to survey and promote the conservation of historic buildings in South East Europe covering Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Kosmac Fortress, near Budva, on the South-east coast of Montenegro, dates from 1840 and is one of a series of fortresses built by the Austro-Hungarians to defend the border between Montenegro and Austria. A Preliminary Technical Assessment of the building has been prepared with local specialists which examines the potential for re-using the building, which is abandoned and in a serious state of dilapidation, possibly to hotel use.
The practice has assisted with the preparation of similar studies for a wide range of buildings across the Balkans.
