Sustaining historic buildings through thoughtful design
Breathing new life into historic buildings
At Taft, we create spaces that honour a building’s past, and serve its future. Each one of our projects blends conservation expertise with thoughtful, sustainable design and strategic planning. We guide you through the complex regulatory process from start to finish, working with you to unlock a building’s true potential.
Reuse and refurbishment
We’re passionate about extending the life of historic buildings while preserving their character. From heritage estates and listed buildings to private homes, we aim to breathe life into old buildings while minimising environmental impact.
Historic conservation
and restoration
Partnering with building custodians to adapt and enhance historic assets, we want to protect the past while planning for the future. Our conservation expertise guides sensitive restoration, and supports projects through surveys, feasibility studies and listed building or monument applications. We oversee the entire process from initial concept to on-site delivery, ensuring the highest quality of workmanship throughout.
