Grade II Listed Architects & Conservation Specialists In Yorkshire

We are a progressive RIBA-chartered architectural practice with award-winning listed building architects and studios in Harrogate and York, covering all areas of Yorkshire. Our creative team pushes the boundaries of design, putting passion and professionalism at the heart of everything we do. Our specialist conservation architects deliver Grade II listed building architectural projects across the North. Beginning with initial designs and planning guidance, we continue through construction and completion. We excel in conservation and rural property restoration or adaptation, and permitted extension concepts for conservation area, Grade II listed, and heritage properties. Our Townscape Architects mantra is: We understand. We solve. We deliver. It is woven into the fabric of our DNA.

  • Heritage & Conservation Expertise

    As specialist conservation architects, we consider your building’s history and what makes it special, our designs protect the character within Local Planning restrictions.

  • Architectural Designs for Modern Life

    Warm, light, practical homes and spaces that respect the old fabric, without pastiche or compromise on how you want to live for the future.

  • Planning, Consent & Build, Managed

    We prepare the heritage statement, manage listed building consent and work with local planning authorities, and can project manage your build to completion.

Conservation & Heritage Property Restoration Architects

We understand the complexities and limitations of working on a listed building project. Maintaining character and originality is our priority while ensuring you can create a living space that exceeds your vision. Our commitment is to help you express your unique style to restore or extend your property and bridge the gap between heritage and contemporary living, transforming your property without losing what makes it special.

Our previous projects showcase our work, including period property restoration, new-build home design, remodelling, barn conversions and luxury house extensions.

Contemporary Design That Preserves Your Listed Property

Your historic property is at the heart of our approach. We combine tradition and modernity to improve how your home works and feels, while protecting the architectural heritage that makes it special. Whether you’re planning modest alterations or a major remodel, we consider the integrity of the building at every stage, so old and new sit together seamlessly.

We can guide you through the restrictions and offer practical solutions whether your property is Grade II listed, in a conservation area with rural restrictions, or subject to other planning controls. Our specialist conservation architects have the expertise you need.

Period Listed Property Architecture That Unites New With Old

The most rewarding listed building projects are the ones where new and old make each other better. For instance, a derelict 16th-century Grade II listed barn can become an award-winning building, with honest contemporary glass extensions beside restored oak and stone. A Grade II listed Hall’s estate can accommodate new residences that complement its historic fabric. Yet both began the same way: understanding what matters about the building before drawing a line

Do I Need an Architect for a Listed Building Project

There is no legal requirement to hire an architect for work on listed buildings; however, the quality of your application can significantly impact the outcome. To obtain listed building consent, you will need to provide a heritage statement and accurate drawings. Conservation officers will expect you to demonstrate an understanding of the building before making any changes. An architect with experience working with Harrogate, York, and Leeds councils can help you avoid costly delays and unsuitable proposals.

We regularly collaborate with Harrogate, York, Leeds, and North Yorkshire councils and have extensive experience with local conservation authorities in areas such as Roundhay, Adel, Ilkley, and Wetherby.
