Technology in a Protected Place
Historic houses and gardens are valued for atmosphere and authenticity. Visitors want stories, but conservation teams worry about fixings, light and visual clutter. The best projects respect both.
Light-Touch Approaches
Start with the question of what can be done without touching the building. We favour these methods in our heritage installations.
- Phone-based layers — stories delivered through WebAR with nothing on the walls
- Free-standing displays — movable units that need no fixings
- Audio guides — voices and sounds without visual intrusion
- Replica objects — handle copies, not originals
- Seasonal pop-ups — temporary content that leaves no trace

Protect the Collection
Screens and projectors add light and heat. Agree limits with conservators and monitor conditions, particularly around textiles, paper and paintings.
Work With Approvals
Listed buildings and charities have formal consent processes. Allow time for them early in the plan. Agencies working with heritage clients can brief us through our partnership programme.
