NEW BUILDINGS

New Builds in Sensitive locations

​

At Montez Architecture Ltd, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with designing new buildings in

sensitive locations, particularly within conservation areas and the settings of listed buildings. Our approach is rooted in respect for the surrounding environment and historical context, ensuring new structures enhance rather than detract from their settings.

​

We begin by thoroughly analysing the site’s historical, cultural, and environmental significance. This includes understanding the landscape, existing structures, and community values. Our designs are crafted to integrate seamlessly with their surroundings, maintaining harmony with the existing built environment while adding contemporary functionality and aesthetics.

​

Sustainability is at the core of our new build projects. We employ environmentally friendly practices and materials to ensure new constructions are not only visually and historically appropriate but also sustainable for future generations. Our designs aim to minimise environmental impact, enhance energy efficiency, and use resources responsibly.

​

Collaboration is key to our process. We work closely with clients, local authorities, and community stakeholders to ensure each project meets the specific needs and expectations of all involved. Our bespoke designs respect and reflect the unique character of conservation areas and the settings of listed buildings, ensuring new builds contribute positively to the area’s heritage and future.

While honouring traditional architectural values, we also embrace modern technology to enhance our designs. Advanced digital tools, such as 3D modelling and environmental simulations, help us visualise and refine our projects to achieve the perfect balance between innovation and sensitivity to the site’s context.

​

Our team of skilled architects and consultants brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of working in sensitive locations. We are dedicated to achieving excellence in every project, ensuring our new builds are not only beautiful and functional but also respectful of their historical and environmental contexts.
