Heritage Compliance Rate
Every old building holds a story. Our work is to read that story carefully — and continue it, with honesty and craft.
We don't treat restoration as a compromise between old and new. We treat it as the most technically demanding form of construction — one that requires greater knowledge, more care, and deeper respect for what already exists.
What We Restore
Four typologies/
Building types
Pre-1900
Historic & Heritage Buildings
Riads, medina structures, colonial-era buildings, and listed monuments — restored with scholarly precision, respecting original materials and craft techniques.
1900–1970
Early Modern Structures
Mid-century concrete and masonry buildings requiring structural assessment, waterproofing, and envelope upgrades while preserving their architectural character.
1970–2000
Residential Renovation
Upgrading existing homes and apartment buildings to modern performance standards — thermal, acoustic, MEP — without unnecessary demolition.
Adaptive
Change of Use Projects
Converting warehouses, schools, and offices into homes, hotels, or cultural spaces — retaining the soul of the structure while transforming its function.

How We Work
Five principles/
Our approach to restoration is guided by professional ethics as much as engineering standards. These are the principles every project is held to — without exception.
01
Understand Before You Touch
We begin every restoration with a forensic investigation — materials testing, archival research, structural survey, and documentation — before any intervention is proposed.
02
Minimum Necessary Intervention
We do as much as needed and as little as possible. Every material removed is material lost. Our interventions are deliberate, reversible where feasible, and always justified.
03
Authentic Materials, Modern Performance
We source period-appropriate materials and match original finishes — while meeting contemporary standards for thermal performance, waterproofing, and fire safety.
04
Craftsperson Partnership
Restoration is a human discipline. We engage specialist craftspeople — maalems, stonemasons, woodcarvers — and manage their work to the highest standard of quality and documentation.
05
Future-Proof the Past
A restored building should last another century. We embed modern infrastructure invisibly — electrical, plumbing, climate control — without compromising heritage fabric.
Craft & Precision
The detail is
the building.

Craft Knowledge
Our material
vocabulary/
Restoration demands fluency in the materials and techniques of the past. Below is a selection of the specialised knowledge our team applies on every heritage mandate.
Tadelakt
Traditional Moroccan lime plaster, polished with stone and treated with black soap. Used on walls and wet rooms in riad and hammam restoration.
Zellige
Hand-cut geometric tilework. We catalogue, store, and restore original pieces — supplementing with hand-cut reproductions where necessary.
Lime Pointing
Replacement of cement-based mortar in historic masonry with breathable hydraulic lime mortars that protect rather than trap moisture.
Carbonation Mapping
Phenolphthalein testing of concrete structures to assess rebar protection depth — essential before any structural concrete repair is designed.
Dendrochronology
Dating of original timber elements by ring analysis to establish build sequence and identify later alterations — used on all major heritage commissions.
