Conservation
Architect for Building and House Conservation
We are a dedicated conservation architecture practice based in Carlow, working on various conservation architecture projects throughout Leinster.
We aim to create interventions which do not detract from the character of a building, working with the current fabric as much as possible. As an accredited RIAI Conservation Architect (Grade III), practice principal Paul Osborne offers expert skills in researching and analysing protected structures and buildings of historical significance, liaising with local authority conservation officers, and preparing Conservation Reports and Architectural Heritage Impact Assessments.
In addition to completing major conservation projects for clients, we also provide specialist consultancy services to other architectural practices.
