Safeguarding historic artifacts is critical first step to preservation and education. They must be protected and, at the same time, shared. Our team is well versed in the environmental issues that affect museum collections, the 10 agents of deterioration as defined by the Canadian Conservation Institute, concerns regarding the potential effects of climate change, and how to design facilities that both protect and display artifacts for the education and enjoyment of the public.
A core belief of our practice is that the owner is the first member of the design team. Our clients bring knowledge about their physical plants, collections, staff, visitors, and operations that inform all of our projects.
We listen carefully, analyze, critique, and augment the information we learn from our clients, our documentation of existing conditions, and requirements of jurisdictional requirements to lay the foundation for our designs.
