Michael Swords Studio - Expert conservation Services

At Michael Swords Studio Architecture, our work is rooted in the care, repair, and adaptation of historic buildings. Michael is an AABC-accredited architect with many years of experience guiding complex conservation projects across listed churches, civic landmarks, and private heritage assets. Every project is shaped by our studio’s principles of space, continuity, and stewardship, ensuring interventions are respectful, sustainable, and attuned to both historic significance and contemporary use.

We pride ourselves on combining rigorous technical expertise with creative design judgement. From condition surveys and quinquennial inspections to phased conservation strategies and sensitive reordering, we bring clarity and insight at every stage. By listening closely to our clients and understanding the unique story of each building, we create conservation solutions that safeguard heritage while allowing it to thrive for future generations.
