WHO WE ARE

T H E D O O R

Founded in 1999, an award-winning developer with a proud association with the built heritage.

Specialising in finding uses for historic buildings that may have outlived their original purpose and are in need of new life, our objective is to save them from falling further into disrepair and neglect. This may involve retaining or reverting back to residential use, or introducing it for the first time - the latter often providing the opportunity to create some incredibly unusual and extraordinary living spaces. We firmly believe this provides the optimal, most viable and sustainable solution in order to secure the long term future of these architectural wonders.

Established primarily as a design-led developer, our passion for period buildings in any shape or form has led us to where we are today, widely recognised in the field of heritage conservation.

With these exceptional buildings as our backdrop, we seek to preserve and enhance their historic fabric with appropriate detailing and finishing to the highest of standards. Each project is carried out with a clear vision to deliver perfection while pushing the barriers to provide the very best in bespoke and stylised living environments.

Over time we have also been very fortunate to be able to create our own new homes as a legacy within a conservation project. We like to think these may just become the heritage of the future.

We are passionate about what we do. These magnificent buildings are irreplaceable and we are honoured to have the opportunity to work with them. In doing so, our distinct aim is to save them for the future while allowing you the pleasure of becoming a proud custodian of our built heritage.
