  ARCHIWEST is an architectural practice based in Cheddar. We work closely with clients of unique older buildings and coordinate projects through to completion, forming links between use, significance and innovation. The practice draws on a combined 75 years+ of experience in the industry, involving technically challenging projects to listed buildings, country estates, universities and churches in and around Bristol & Somerset. Our passion is the adaptive reuse and regeneration of existing buildings, whilst balancing heritage and conservation with sustainability. Every project has a different past and unique challenges in the way it can be altered and proposals should not only protect and enhance historic qualities, but also adapt and reuse existing elements. - Heritage & Planning - Conservation & Regeneration - Surveys & Strategies - Renovations & Extensions www.ARCHIWEST.co.uk ​ Show less
