But there isn't a track record for post-war building conservation. Very often, you're doing things for the first time."

All three are broken up by pilasters and are topped by an entablature.   www.aoassociates.co.uk   #conservationarchitecture #conservationarchitect #buildingrestoration #restoration #georgianhouse #classicalarchitecture #venetianwindow #townhouse #wiltshirearchitecture #ribacharteredpractice #alexoliverassociates
