With over twenty years of industry experience, Leftfield Motive offer a fresh, design-led perspective to conservation architecture, combining broad heritage knowledge with a creative, innovative approach to deliver projects that are both respectful and forward-thinking.

Far from the conventional and conservative image often associated with heritage work, our studio embraces complexity, celebrates character and finds new purpose in old buildings through respectful, contemporary design.

From initial appraisals through to developed design (Plan of Work stages 0–3), Leftfield Motive provide tailored support for projects involving listed buildings, Scheduled Monuments and other sensitive historic sites.

While not ARB-registered, we work in accordance with the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 and hold extensive experience delivering all key stages of projects up to and including achieving Local Authority and Historic England approval.
