Avanti Architects have completed the design and management of the first phase of urgent repair work to the terracotta façade of the Natural History Museum.
The team coordinated a comprehensive physical and visual survey, with complex access requirements to identify the repairs required. Based upon on-site trials, a bespoke repair specification was developed for each complex terracotta block, which will be monitored going forward. These investigations and repair work, have enabled the museum to develop a programme to conserve the entire Grade I listed façade.
The specialist contractors were Taylor Pearce.
