Levrant has been proud to work for King’s College London, supporting the ongoing conservation, adaptation, and management of its extensive and historically significant estate. Spread across four central London campuses, Strand, Waterloo, Guy’s, and St Thomas’, the university’s buildings reflect centuries of architectural development and the enduring legacy of academic life in the capital. The estate is remarkably diverse. The Strand Campus, for example, presents a layered architectural narrative that includes 17th-century terraced houses, Georgian and Victorian academic buildings, and mid-20th-century institutional facilities. At the Old Guy’s Campus, the heritage value is equally rich, with several buildings listed at the highest grade, standing alongside more modest but still historically valuable structures.

We are supporting the development of a long-term masterplan for the Sherfield School estate, centred on a Grade II listed former country house set within extensive historic grounds in Sherfield on Loddon. Our role ensures that future interventions respect the significance of the listed building and its broader landscape while accommodating the school’s operational needs.

Appointed in 2023 by Watkin Jones, we are providing heritage and townscape advice for a canal-side student residential scheme within Bristol’s Silverthorn Lane Conservation Area. Once part of the historic Vitriol Works, the site sits beside the Grade II listed former Marble Mosaic Warehouse. Working with AWW and Bristol City Council, the project responds to its industrial heritage and forms a key part of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. Planning permission was granted in September 2025.

In 2023, Westminster City Council commissioned a comprehensive Conservation Area Audit of Covent Garden — the first in over 50 years. We assessed its buildings, streets, views and public realm, identifying heritage risks and pressures while engaging stakeholders to understand the area’s character and needs. The audit provides clear, practical guidance for managing change, supporting high-quality design and safeguarding Covent Garden’s historic, social and architectural significance.

Appointed in 2024, we are providing heritage advice for the phased refurbishment of SOAS’s Grade II* listed Philips Building, a striking 1970s Brutalist library by Sir Denys Lasdun. Our work supports proposals that preserve the building’s finely detailed, top-lit interiors while enabling sensitive adaptations — including new librarian hubs, event spaces, improved access and upgraded environmental performance. The project balances modern functionality with respect for the library’s architectural and historic significance.

Hans Place is a historically layered octagonal garden square in Chelsea. Our work spans several properties, encompassing the restoration of surviving Georgian buildings, informed reconstruction of lost elements, and carefully judged new interventions. These projects support the square’s architectural integrity and character, reflecting its late-18th-century origins under Henry Holland and the Cadogan Estate while accommodating its continued evolution.

Campfield Markets comprises two Grade II listed covered market halls dating from the 1880’s. Our work has supported their sensitive conversion and refurbishment, guiding the adaptation of the historic interiors for contemporary office use. The project demonstrates how industrial structures of this scale and character can be thoughtfully reimagined to meet modern needs while retaining their distinctive identity.

The Grade II* listed Folkestone Leas Lift, a historic funicular and much-loved seaside landmark, had been out of use since 2016. Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, our Conservation Management Plan (CMP) guides the sensitive restoration and the introduction of a new café. The plan prioritises repair and reuse of original components, preserves significant fabric for public display and balances heritage significance with community value, ensuring the lift remains a cherished part of Folkestone’s seaside heritage.

Tarlair Lido, a Grade A listed Art Deco swimming pool complex on the Aberdeenshire cliffs, has been restored through the sensitive refurbishment of its Tea Pavilion. Appointed in 2021, we provided conservation architectural and heritage services for the project. Planning and listed building consent were granted in 2022, and the pavilion reopened as a café in 2025, revitalising the site and celebrating the distinctive architectural and cultural heritage of this Scottish coastal landmark.

Appointed in 2021, we are leading the sensitive transformation of 6 The Green, a mid-18th-century Grade II-listed house in Wimbledon Village. The project restores the historic main house, coach house and stable block, alongside a light-filled contemporary extension, reconfigured interiors and upgraded services. Additional elements include a rear garage, a potential subterranean pool and a lift. Listed building consent and planning permission were granted in 2023, with minor amendments approved in 2024 and 2025.

Appointed in 2021 by Downing, we worked with Simpson Haugh Associates and the London Borough of Wandsworth to develop a sensitive two-block scheme fronting Armoury Way. Approved in 2025, the staggered layout, stepped massing, and material palette respond to the site’s position between the industrial riverside and the historic heart of Wandsworth, while new landscaping helps knit the development into its surroundings.

Walworth Town Hall is a much-loved group of Grade II listed civic buildings on Walworth Road, comprising a former town hall, library and municipal offices. Severely damaged by fire in 2013, the complex remained largely vacant and was later placed on Historic England’s ‘Heritage at Risk’ register. Working with General Projects and Feix&Merlin, the buildings have now been sensitively transformed into a vibrant workspace and community hub, reconnecting this civic landmark with its public.

We are providing ongoing heritage consultancy for the refurbishment of the Grade II Rylands Building (formerly Debenhams) into a mixed-use development. Our involvement spans pre-application, planning and post-consent stages, including support with the discharge of conditions to ensure all interventions respect the building’s historic significance.

Watkin Jones appointed Levrant in 2020. We advised on a new student accommodation scheme within Bristol’s Silverthorne Lane Conservation Area. Working with AWW, Bristol City Council, and Historic England, the project thoughtfully responds to the area’s industrial past. The six-storey building provides 260 student rooms with landscaped communal spaces, using materials and detailing inspired by local Victorian and Bristol Byzantine character to create a contemporary scheme rooted in historic context.

Since 2019, we have advised on the refurbishment of Ibex House, a Grade II listed Streamline Moderne Art Deco building designed by Fuller, Hall and Foulsham between 1935 and 1937. Recognised as one of their most significant works, the building showcases the sleek architectural and aesthetic qualities emblematic of the era. Working with AHMM and the City of London, we provided heritage and townscape guidance and led negotiations with heritage bodies.

We advised on the transformation of Liverpool’s Grade II* listed Municipal Building from council offices into a five-star hotel. Our work guided the approach to key architectural features and historic fabric, supporting a careful balance between modern adaptation and the building’s civic and heritage values during its high-quality conversion.

Aire Park is a 24-acre mixed-use district on Leeds’ south bank, including part of the former Tetley Brewery. Vastint appointed us to review the listing status of five buildings to support the creation of the country’s most extensive new city-centre green park. We also advised on the integration and reuse of the Tetley building and the former Crown Hotel, ensuring these non-designated heritage assets play a meaningful role in the broader placemaking strategy.

Appointed in 2018, we are working with the project team to develop conservation-focused proposals for the repair and stabilisation of Temple Works, the finest surviving example of Egyptian Revival architecture in the UK. After years of neglect, the Grade I listed building is on the Heritage at Risk Register and at risk of collapse. Our work supports stabilisation and prepares the building for future cultural uses.

We supported the thoughtful adaptation of the Grade II listed Goulden Street Fire Station. Assessing the significance of the surviving structures, we advised on interventions that respected the building’s historic fabric while enabling its sensitive reuse. The refurbished building retains its architectural character and historic value throughout.

The Viadux is a mixed-use redevelopment comprising a completed 40-storey tower (completed in 2024) and a second 76-storey tower approved in 2025. Both buildings sit above a Grade II listed viaduct, which has been integrated into the scheme to provide commercial units and residential amenity space. Our heritage council supported the complex stakeholder process required to secure planning permission, and we continue to assist with the discharge of heritage-related conditions.

We supported Listed Building Consent and Planning applications for the conversion and extension of a Grade II listed 1870s terracotta workshop and showroom on Laystall Street.

The project balances preservation with adaptation, ensuring we maintained the building’s architectural character and heritage value throughout.

Appointed in 2017, Levrant supported the restoration of a Grade II listed townhouse and the design of a new purpose-built student accommodation building on the adjoining site in central Bristol. Located within the Portland and Brunswick Square Conservation Area, the project presented significant heritage challenges but also the opportunity to reinstate aspects of the area’s historic character that had been lost over time.

Canada House, a Grade II listed Art Nouveau warehouse in Manchester, has been both our home and a long-term care project since 2016. Designed in 1909 for H. S. Booth & Company Ltd, it remains one of the city’s most distinctive Edwardian warehouses. We have worked closely with architects and craftspeople to repair, adapt and better understand the building — balancing its historic fabric with the needs of a contemporary workplace.

We have advised on Deansgate Square (formerly Owen Street/Great Jackson Street) since 2016, assessing the visual and heritage impacts of the emerging residential skyscraper cluster.

Carefully considered interventions ensure the building remains functional, viable and architecturally relevant for the future.

Set within the Harley Street Conservation Area and a short walk from Regent’s Park, this Grade II* townhouse is part of the distinguished Adam brothers’ composition along Portland Place. Designed in the late 1770s, the building retains many of its defining characteristics — balanced room proportions, refined detailing and intricate decorative plasterwork. By 2015, however, years of alteration and incremental change had softened the clarity of the original design. The owners sought to return the house to use as a single private residence, restoring its architectural integrity and strengthening its historic presence.

St. Michael’s is a significant redevelopment project in central Manchester. The site includes the former Bootle Street police station, the Manchester Reform Synagogue and a historic public house. Our heritage advice informed the planning process, helping the scheme respond sensitively to the area’s architectural and historical context.

We advised on the major refurbishment of this landmark hotel, establishing appropriate design parameters and providing the evidence needed to justify adaptations that improved vehicle access, guest circulation, energy efficiency, and operational flexibility. These adjustments enabled the hotel to be successfully re-zoned, accommodating conference guests and hotel visitors more effectively.

The Grade II* listed former Midland Bank is Sir Edwin Lutyens’ only major work in Manchester, occupying a prominent island site in the historic financial district.

Manchester Town Hall, a Grade I listed Gothic Revival masterpiece by Alfred Waterhouse, has stood at the civic heart of the city since 1877. Designed for a triangular island site, its complex plan encloses a central courtyard and the celebrated Great Hall with murals by Ford Madox Brown. Recognised internationally as an exemplar of its type, the building remains both a working town hall and a symbol of Manchester’s identity. Between 2013 and 2016, we served as heritage lead, guiding its ongoing restoration and care.

Folkestone Harbour and its seafront form a historic working harbour layered with coastal character and identity. Once much-loved but long in decline, the area has been the focus of heritage-led regeneration since 2012. We were appointed as Heritage Consultants to help shape this transformation — from the early masterplan by Farrells through later phases by ACME and Aisfor — ensuring the town’s maritime and architectural heritage remained integral to its renewal.

The Grade II* Manchester Cenotaph, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1924, has long stood as a civic symbol of sacrifice and remembrance. By the early 21st century, its setting in St Peter’s Square had lost much of its dignity as tram lines and new development reshaped the space. When plans for the Second City Crossing emerged, Manchester City Council took the opportunity to restore the Cenotaph’s presence. We were appointed in 2012 to design a new setting, manage conservation and oversee its careful relocation.

As the Co-operative Group relocated from its historic estate in 2011, we prepared a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) covering all buildings on the NOMA estate.

Our ongoing role supports Liberty in balancing day-to-day operations with long-term care, ensuring the Grade II* listed building remains safe, serviceable and true to its character.

From modest terraces on quiet streets to the grand palace-fronted rows of Belgravia and Regent’s Park, we have worked extensively on terraced houses across London and beyond. Often described as our bread and butter, these buildings remain endlessly fascinating. Despite their apparent uniformity, no two terraces are ever the same, with subtle variations in layout, detailing and character. This body of work spans all periods and scales, from Nash’s iconic terraces in Regent’s Park to the careful reworking of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes. Our projects typically involve extensions, roof additions, internal reconfiguration and contemporary insertions, alongside increasingly important retrofit measures that improve environmental performance while safeguarding historic significance.
