Our Approach
Innovative Conservation for Historic Integrity
01
Understanding and Collaboration
At Montez Architecture Ltd, we combine deep material understanding with collaborative work inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Working closely with skilled craftspeople, we handle surveys, planning, and condition reports in-house to ensure comprehensive project insights.
03
Conservation & Adaptation
At Montez Architecture, we believe buildings must evolve to survive. Our interventions enhance environmental performance, enable new uses, and increase the significance of historic structures, ensuring their essence and character are maintained while adapting them for modern needs.
02
Balancing Tradition and Innovation
We honour historical styles while embracing modern technology. Blending traditional pen-and-paper techniques with digital methods like drone flights and photogrammetry scans, we create clear graphics that help record and understand heritage assets, respecting the past and innovating for the future.
04
Community and Education
Since 2018, Montez Architecture has grown, working on prestigious listed buildings across Herefordshire and beyond. Our passion extends to community engagement, building recording, and art projects, with frequent talks and seminars on building conservation.
Our Leominster studio is based within one of the town's oldest buildings. Hidden behind a Georgian and Victorian frontage is a timber frame structure dating back to 1455 with other timbers dating to 1326. An apt setting for the practice. We are renovating the building at the moment, so do follow along on the latest news section of the website.
