Expertise in architectural history

Ark-byroo offers architectural design services for renovation projects. We possess expert knowledge of building methods typically used in different time periods and we are comfortable working with buildings of varying ages.

Our design work starts with preserving the most valuable historic features of the property while at the same developing the technological and functional aspects of it. We also have an understanding of which parts of the property have less historical or cultural value. Our list of references includes the conservation of a 1920’s chapel, the restoration and repurposing of an 1890’s timber house and the renovation and expansion of a 1960’s student housing block. Our staff is FISE certified in architectural design and renovation planning with the skills to work with even the most demanding properties. Have a look at our previous renovation plans.
