Specialising in the conservation of contemporary and historic wall paintings; painted decorative surfaces, immoveable cultural heritage and historic buildings.
We aim to preserve heritage without compromises
Conservation intervention needs to consider the effect of the natural and built environment and the ongoing use of a location on the cultural heritage being conserved. Through considered and careful research, Kyi Conservation provides conservation options that do not compromise on the historical integrity and authenticity of built heritage. Working with clients, trades, architects, heritage organisations and advisors, we aid in the creation of places while preserving their unique history.
