Caring For the Environment While Creating Stunning London Architectures

London has many historical buildings and architectures but in many cases the signs are getting lost. The number of properties which are saved and preserved, or even restored, is a low figure. This is a sad affair as they form our cultural heritage and represent our glorious past.

Many people might not know that once London was home of many orchards but when these lands became too costly for these huge orchards and new lands were needed for buildings and residential projects, they slowly obliterated. The signs of remaining orchards is pretty rare nowadays.

We have done our fair bit in this regard as well. While restoring this particular property, our focus was on preserving the trees and accentuate the historical appeal of the property. While excavating, we ensured that the roots of those trees are not hurt. In fact, we also created the impression of a fake forest by using vertical timbers. The walls were imprinted with woodgrains in many areas.

This property can be a benchmark for residential architects in London on how to preserve the history of any site yet to renovate it with multiple modern features. We were considerate in using only eco-friendly materials and we added several features to aid the mother earth as well, including rainwater harvesting, roof panels and air heated pumps. These keep the electricity bill low as well.

At Martyn Pattie, we draw inspirations for the diverse residential skyline we have in London and then infuse those with our own creativity to give you something really spectacular.
