About the Practice
Vallis & Hall Conservation Architects is a distinguished RIBA Chartered Practice based in Chichester, West Sussex, specialising in the conservation of historic buildings, heritage consultancy, and new build projects within historically sensitive environments. Their mission is to safeguard the architectural legacy of the UK by delivering expert, context-sensitive design solutions that respect and enhance the built heritage. With a portfolio encompassing residential, ecclesiastical, cultural, educational, and commercial sectors, the practice demonstrates a deep commitment to preserving the character and integrity of historic structures while accommodating contemporary needs.
The firm's core services include Building Conservation, Architecture & Design, and Heritage Consultancy. Their conservation work involves meticulous repair and adaptation of listed and historic buildings, ensuring structural stability and historical authenticity. In architectural design, they create sympathetic extensions and new constructions that harmonise with existing heritage contexts. Their heritage consultancy provides comprehensive assessments and guidance on planning and listed building consents, ensuring that interventions are both legally compliant and culturally sensitive.
Vallis & Hall's project portfolio showcases their versatility and expertise. Notable projects include the reconfiguration of a Grade II listed 17th-century house, transforming it from a former malthouse into a cohesive residential dwelling, and the extension of a 1960s chalet near Chichester Harbour, enhancing its functionality while respecting its original character. Their work with West Dean College on establishing a new Central London campus exemplifies their ability to integrate modern educational facilities within a historic urban fabric.
The practice is also actively involved in community and ecclesiastical projects, such as the renewal of St John’s Church in Broadbridge Heath, where they conducted structural assessments and design interventions to revitalise the 1960s steel-framed building. Their commitment to social responsibility is evident in their support for local charities like The Sussex Snowdrop Trust, reflecting a holistic approach to community engagement and heritage stewardship.
For building conservation professionals, homeowners, and enthusiasts, Vallis & Hall offers a wealth of expertise in navigating the complexities of heritage projects. Their integrated services ensure that each project is approached with a balance of historical insight, architectural innovation, and regulatory compliance, making them a trusted partner in the preservation and enhancement of the UK's architectural heritage.
