I am a conservation architect specialising in listed and historic buildings; I run a small design practice in Altrincham but work across the UK; we undertake all sorts of design work (not just conservation-related). I am planning to build a contemporary house to (near) Passive house standards for my wife and I to retire into. This field interests me greatly but I am a learner and will hopefully be able to draw upon the experience of members and help others with my specialism and many years in practice. My grandfather, father, and now my youngest son are/were Architects. Thanks for allowing me to join.
