Specialisation in Conservation and Heritage Restoration
KSA’s team includes architects with specialised degrees and certifications in conservation, making us exceptionally skilled in the preservation and restoration of historic buildings. Our commitment to conservation goes beyond preserving physical structures; we strive to protect the heritage and stories embedded within each site. Conservation projects demand a meticulous approach and sensitivity to traditional methods, which KSA Chartered Architects proudly bring to every heritage restoration project. We work closely with local conservation authorities and heritage bodies to ensure that our designs respect and enhance Scotland’s architectural legacy.

We believe that architecture should serve the community as well as the environment, and as RIAS Chartered Architects, KSA incorporates energy-efficient solutions, sustainable materials, and design strategies that reduce environmental impact. This commitment is especially vital in projects within conservation areas, where we harmonise modern efficiencies with historical integrity.
