Fivefootway Consultants was founded in October 2012, focussing on conservation consultancy and heritage restoration services. Today, we are a tight team of 6 consisting of ex-URA conservation planners and architecturally trained designers.
Driven by our love and knowledge for conservation, we provide services such as advising on building-specific Conservation Guidelines, possible pitfalls and development potential. Having a niche portfolio for conservation works, we do intensive restoration and rejuvenation work.
We like designing small space for discerning occupants. We believe that technology should never be a crutch, and are constantly drawing inspiration from old buildings in terms of spatial planning and their remarkable low-tech solutions to our climate. Keep it Simple, Stupid.
