Hannah Reynolds

MA, MArch, AABC, RIBA
Conservation Architect

Hannah is a chartered architect (ARB, RIBA) and accredited in building conservation (AABC). She completed her professional training at both the University of Liverpool (BA) and Nottingham (MArch), gaining professional registration in 2011.

Hannah began working in the heritage sector in 2008 and has since worked in both private practice and as a civil servant, gaining extensive wide-ranging experience of historic building materials and construction types, the factors affecting building performance, decay mechanisms and the impacts of interventions. She has vast experience of diagnosing defects and specifying appropriate repair work for traditional buildings.

Hannah undertook a scholarship with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) in 2013 and later gained an MA Archaeology of Buildings at the University of York. Hannah is a SPAB Guardian sitting on the Technical and Research Committee, having served previously on the Education and Training Committee.

Hannah is also a specialist in considered and environmentally conscious refurbishment, climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience for historic buildings. Working on a wide variety of built environment projects, she helps clients anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to the evolving challenges posed by a changing climate.

She has wide ranging experience of developing and delivering bespoke independent and site-specific technical advice in heritage settings and experience in balancing repair and conservation with climate change, energy efficiency and Net Zero goals in the historic environment. 

Hannah was an early adopter of The Green Register’s eco-refurbisher accreditation (2011) and has since completed both the AECB CarbonLite Retrofit Standard Foundation Course and ABBE Domestic Energy Assessor Course with Elmhurst Energy.

Hannah has a lifelong passion for heritage, sustainability, low impact living and climate resilience, having long held the view that historic buildings are eminently sustainable. She is  a passionate and persuasive advocate for heritage, conservation and sustainability, and the appropriate repair and adaptation of the historic building stock to meet the challenges of the climate emergency.
