How do you approach the design of new elements on historic sites to avoid mimicry, but still feel connected to the original buildings?

From the revival of London’s Saville Theatre to the reinvention of OlympiaUK and Ravenscourt Park Hospital, SPPARC is leading some of the UK’s most ambitious heritage transformations.
