earth

stone &

lime

We are a small, flexible team specialising in the conservation of earth and stone buildings

using traditional, sustainable materials and techniques. We underpin our design for

conservation by developing an intimate understanding of the history, construction and

condition of each building that we engage with. This approach ensures that the virtues of

material perfomance and cultural significance are maintained and enhanced to the full

We endeavour to use locally sourced materials wherever possible to maximise both

compatibility and authenticity. This includes the production of locally specific building

limes using our own kiln

With previous experience of projects across the UK, as well as in the USA and Spain, we

take pride in drawing upon both regional and international conservation perspectives.
