Traditional buildings are resilient structures that have often lasted for hundreds of years. Beautifully crafted from high-quality materials, they sit well in a landscape that has matured around them. There is no reason why these buildings cannot be updated and adapted to provide beautiful, practical accommodation long into the future, but they can present some new and unique challenges to anyone who is unfamiliar with them. Written by an RIAS-accredited conservation architect, Renovating Traditional Buildings will guide you through assembling a team, teach you how to respect the existing structure of your traditional building and help you to avoid costly renovation mistakes. Careful planning and a methodical approach are the keys to a successful project. With the correct expertise and the clear advice in this book, you should end up with accommodation that fulfils your needs and retains its traditional charm.
