We came here in 1979 to work with another architect and established our own practice in 1982.</font></td> <td><p align="center"><img src="graphics/photos/historic/pgu_front.jpg" width="280" height="202" alt="Pant Glas Uchaf, our home and place of work" border="1"></td> </tr> </table> <p><font face="Times New Roman">Our main interest is <a href="jobs/historic.htm" target="main">historic buildings</a> and most of our work involves repairing, extending and converting existing buildings of character. Many of our jobs are within the Snowdonia National Park and require sensitive handling of form and materials as well as an understanding of local planning legislation.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman">We have designed a number of <a href="jobs/surgeries.htm" target="main">doctors surgeries </a>in the area, both extensions and newbuild, and have developed an understanding of how doctors and their buildings work, as well as how surgery projects are financed.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman">Recently, we have been involved with projects funded by the Lottery. One of these, extending <a href="jobs/pic_pages/historic/cmh.htm" target="_top">Criccieth Memorial Hall</a>, received one of the largest Arts Council grants awarded in North Wales. Other schemes include a number of <a href="jobs/churches.htm" target="main">churches</a> which were successful in obtaining funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman">We try to design with the environment and sustainability in mind, and we like to work with clients who are sympathetic to this aim (see <a href="jobs/green.htm" target="main"><u>Green Building</u></a>).</font></p> <p><font face="Times New Roman">In addition to our work as architects, Frances was a nominated member of the Snowdonia National Park Authority from 1992 to 2001, is Secretary to <a href="http://www.tremadog.org.uk" target="_blank">Cyfeillion Cadw Tremadog</a>, a local Building Preservation Trust, and has been Chair of the Association of Preservation Trusts in Wales.
