- CONSERVATION & SUSTAINABILITY

01 / Conservation

At Field & Fox, conservation and heritage architecture is more than a service — it’s a commitment to preserving the character and legacy of historic buildings. With a deep respect for architectural heritage, William brings both technical skill and a nuanced sensitivity to projects involving listed buildings and conservation areas.

Based in Stamford, we're fortunate to work amidst a rich architectural tapestry of historic structures and protected areas. This context has given us extensive experience in the repair, restoration, and thoughtful adaptation of heritage buildings — each with its own unique challenges and stories.

Whether it's:

• careful renovation

• sustainable upgrades

• sympathetically designed extensions

We understand that listed buildings come with distinct needs: from modernisation and structural repairs to seamlessly blending the old with the new.

Field & Fox are especially skilled in integrating contemporary design and modern technologies within heritage settings — ensuring buildings not only retain their historic value but are also fit for 21st-century use.

Our conservation work respects the past while embracing the future, creating spaces that are both functional and timeless.

02 / Sustainability

At Field & Fox Architecture & Planning, sustainability is not an afterthought — it’s embedded in every decision we make. Led by William Faux, our practice recognises the pressing reality of the climate emergency and the crucial role the built environment plays in addressing it. We believe great design should not only meet the needs of today, but actively contribute to a more resilient, responsible future.

Our aim is to create architecture that is both environmentally conscious and economically sound — from better-insulated homes that reduce energy bills, to reducing reliance on fossil fuels through smart, sustainable design strategies.

We proudly support the principles behind initiatives like RIBA’s 2030 Climate Challenge and are continuously evolving our practice to meet — and exceed — sustainability benchmarks.

At Field & Fox, we don’t believe in sustainability as a marketing trend. We see it as a professional responsibility and a design opportunity — to create beautiful, functional, future-proof architecture that’s good for both people and the planet.
