Architecture in the Den: Conservation with Louise Priestman

Louise is a conservation accredited architect at Arup. Louise began her career as an office junior at Purcell architects in York in 2006 where she quickly realised she wanted to be an architect. The next decade saw her choose universities which supported her interest in built heritage, following completion of her Part II, Louise joined the AABC apprenticeship programme to become an accredited conservation architect.

 

Louise has worked on buildings including The Elizabeth Tower (known as Big Ben), Canterbury Cathedral and railway stations throughout the country often preparing, advising and specifying new design and the conservation of historic fabric. Louise is also church architect to six churches.

The Pride Road Franchise grew out of Founder Lisa Raynes’ refusal to accept that there was only one way for a woman to have an architecture career and a family life. She built her practice in the domestic sector, and then invested to turn her business into one that other ambitious architects wanting work/life balance can buy into. She’s had a seat on the RIBA Council (2015-18), been Chair of Women in Property NW and founded Manchester Curious, an urban architecture outreach festival. A key focus of the Pride Road Franchise business in a box is the fully-automated customer relation management system, this system helps lead a flow of new clients to our franchisees.
