conservation

heritage

We have a wealth of experience dealing with historic places, assets and listed buildings throughout Devon and Cornwall - working to conserve some of our most treasured heritage and protect their longevity for future generations.

This work is recognised by demanding clients, authorities and organisations such as Historic England, The National Trust, Natural England, Duchy of Cornwall, Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.

Specialist conservation tasks range from long term stewardship masterplans, evidence based heritage statements, down to forensic type inspections on site to identify exact materials and traditional craftsmanship.

We have completed projects for:

Listed Buildings - Domestic, Agricultural, Ecclesiastical, Civic and Cultural.

Scheduled Ancient Monuments.

Historic England Buildings At Risk Register.

The coastal vernacular buildings of Devon and Cornwall that define the fishing, port and seaside villages of the South West peninsula.

The inland agricultural buildings and farmsteads that define so much of the rural landscape character of the region. From medieval farm settlements, Tithe land, barns and mill buildings through to modern agricultural sheds.

Georgian and Victorian period properties - townhouses, villas and cottages.

Twentieth-century Modernism and post war buildings.

“Atkinson Architects proved that a lot of good conservation work is modest and invisible. The ability to repair old buildings carefully is a real skill. Keeping elements like lichen on stone and lime walls, doing the bare minimum created a far better result. It required more care and attention to detail, but undoubtedly worth it in the long run."
