Coniston have proudly carried out the celebrated restoration project at the Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. The project involved the conservation of the paintings and the restoration of the Hall. Within the Painted Hall 3700m2 of painted surfaces were conserved and the internal environment stabilised to dramatically reduce future degradation. Measures include draft proofing, solar shading and replacement heating system.
Winning three awards this month, the project has received great acclaim in the industry, picking up the Museums + Heritage Restoration/Conservation Project of the Year 2019 and both the RIBA London Award 2019 and RIBA London Conservation Award 2019.
“The attention to detail and craftsmanship across the project is testament to a successful, collaborative relationship between the client and architect. The incredible chance find of the remains of Henry VII’s palace by workmen during the restoration work has been successfully incorporated into the space, further enriching the visitor experience.”
