Restoration Architects

Restoration architects are professionals who specialize in the restoration, preservation, and rehabilitation of historic buildings and structures. They have expertise in historical research, building materials, and construction techniques used in the past. Restoration architects work to ensure that the original character and integrity of a building are maintained during restoration projects.

Some common tasks that restoration architects perform include:

• Conducting research on the history of the building, including its original design and construction.
• Assessing the condition of the building and identifying areas that require restoration or repair.
• Developing restoration plans that include preservation of historic elements while ensuring the safety and functionality of the building.
• Selecting appropriate materials and construction techniques for restoration projects.
• Coordinating with contractors and other professionals to oversee restoration work.
• Ensuring compliance with preservation standards and regulations.

Restoration architects typically have a degree in architecture or historic preservation, and may also have additional training or certification in restoration techniques and materials. They may work for architecture firms, historic preservation organizations, or government agencies that oversee historic building projects.
