Heritage Architecture
Heritage architecture is the careful practice of conserving, repairing and adapting historically significant buildings to pass them on to future generations – including where possible and appropriate making them suitable for contemporary use and performance standards. It safeguards our cultural identity, protecting historic structures and the stories they hold.
At Marsh:Grochowski, we’re proud to help preserve the UK’s architectural heritage through sensitive design and repair work. Whether working on a non-listed heritage asset or a scheduled ancient monument, our team ensures that a full understanding of the building’s past informs work carried out to prepare it for the future.
UK Architectural Heritage
We provide a complete heritage architecture service, working on buildings of national, regional and local importance, across all listing classifications.
Our team understands the complexities involved in architectural heritage work. We collaborate closely with specialist surveyors, conservation officers, skilled craftspeople, planning authorities and our clients to ensure projects are both in line with conservation best practice and creatively considered. From extensive repairs and reconstruction to adaptive reuse, we combine deep respect for heritage with innovative thinking to deliver enduring results.
Listed Buildings
Working on listed buildings requires a specialist approach. Our architects are experienced in navigating the legal frameworks and permissions that come with listed status, ensuring that interventions have been carefully considered and justified to ensure the significance of the buildings is not unduly affected and to make the planning process as smooth as possible.
We aim to maintain the character of these protected structures, repairing and making the most of historically significant features while integrating where appropriate modern systems, materials and design details that enhance functionality and comfort.
Cultural Buildings
From historic libraries and churches to civic buildings and community landmarks, we’ve worked on a wide range of cultural heritage buildings across the UK. These projects often involve protecting historic architecture while enhancing its accessibility, environmental performance and wider social relevance.
Our goal is always to celebrate the building’s original purpose and sense of place — ensuring it remains a meaningful part of its community for generations to come.
