Meet your Conservation Architect

Deborah Anderson

I am Debbie Anderson, a RIBA-accredited Conservation Architect based in Aberdeenshire. I specialise in the care, repair, and adaptation of historic buildings and work with both architect practices and private clients.

I have also been awarded RIAS Advanced Level Accreditation in Conservation Architecture, recognising senior-level expertise in the conservation, repair, and adaptation of historic buildings.

I provide clear, practical guidance that helps projects involving listed buildings and historic properties succeed, from early feasibility through to completion.

Experience & Approach

With over 20 years’ experience in architecture, I have worked on a wide range of conservation and heritage projects, including listed buildings, traditional farm structures, and historic estates.

My approach combines a detailed understanding of historic fabric with practical knowledge of planning and listed building consent processes. I focus on delivering solutions that are sensitive, achievable, and aligned with the requirements of local authorities and clients alike.

Working With Clients

Architect Practices:

I collaborate with architect practices, providing specialist heritage input at any stage of a project—from early feasibility to planning, design, and delivery. My input helps strengthen planning submissions and reduce risk on complex conservation projects.

Private Clients:

I also work directly with property owners, advising on repairs, alterations, and adaptations to historic buildings. My guidance ensures projects comply with conservation principles while respecting the character and significance of the building.

Accreditations:

  • RIAS Advanced Level Accredited Conservation Architect

  • RIBA Conservation Architect (2019)

  • Chartered Member of RIAS, RIBA & ARB

  • Over 20 years’ professional experience

My focus is on practical, collaborative solutions that allow both architects and private clients to move their projects forward with confidence.
