Heritage
- architectural illustration & reconstruction -
Quayscape brings lost buildings and historic places back to life through meticulous architectural reconstruction.
Combining archival research with detailed illustration, each artwork reveals the story behind a site. Research may draw on archival photographs, maps, directories, newspapers, census records and other historical sources, helping to recreate vanished streetscapes and important landmarks for museums, heritage organisations, publications and public engagement.
Independent Historical Research & Publications
Alongside illustration commissions, Quayscape undertakes independent historical research into the architecture, businesses and commercial evolution of historic towns, supporting material for:
- Conservation area reports
- Heritage magazines and books
- Museum exhibitions
- Historic properties & visitor attractions
- Local history societies
- Architectural research projects
Dartmouth Shop Histories – forthcoming
An illustrated history of Dartmouth’s high streets and shopfronts, researched and written by Quayscape. Drawing on archival photographs, maps and local records, the book explores how the town's commercial buildings and trading spaces have changed over time.
