Under the directions of both Michael Wilson and Group Managing Director, John Bresnahan, the company combines inspirational design skills with sound corporate and project management.
Utilising today’s building technology, the company is both architect and contractor. This is a unique combination of architectural design, teamed with a fully skilled contracting workforce. These team skills have been honed through enviable experience gained by completing many spectacular projects, rescuing time-ravaged buildings, such as great mansion houses and period mill buildings.
All Michael Wilson Restorations projects are subject to careful experienced analysis to ensure that they are both financially and technically viable. After the initial feasibility study and decision to go ahead, the challenge of bringing the concept to reality is the task of the company’s team of architects, engineers and project managers.
Under the personal direction of Michael Wilson, the architectural and engineering solutions are realised. Original visual concepts are developed with sound design and structural thinking in order to retain the inspirational qualities of the initial ideas and the architectural integrity of the building. To make sure planning is translated into quality solutions, sound on-site management co-ordinates a team of construction specialists to achieve the desired result.
Michael Wilson Restorations is now established as a national developer, using its combined skills of architect, builder, developer and interior designer. Current projects are spread across a wide area of operation, with developments in West Yorkshire, Somerset, Gloucestershire, West Sussex and Surrey.
Every project is carefully assessed and only selected if it meets criteria based on architecture, setting and location. High on this list is the building's 'architectural sex appeal'. "The more listed, the better," says Michael Wilson, for whom the challenge of devising a sustainable solution while preserving architectural integrity remains an enduring passion.
The success and growth of the company lies in the dedication and complementary vision and skills of both its founder, architect Michael Wilson, and Group Managing Director, John Bresnahan, and its team of engineers, project managers and specialist craftsmen. This enables Michael Wilson Restorations to maintain the consistency of the finished product by having complete control over every aspect of the design and build.
John Bresnahan comments: "We operate on a very personal level, with a unique blend of individuals committed to satisfying the needs of the discerning buyer. Our ability to offer bespoke development is second to none, and we welcome the opportunity of working closely with the client wherever possible".
"Michael Wilson Restorations is one of the few British developers who manages to combine architectural vision, practical building knowledge and sound financial sense with a passion for historical accuracy which any lofty academic might aspire to." Penny Churchill - Property Consultant, Country Life
