Abstract

The Landmark Trust pioneered the re-use of redundant and derelict buildings as holiday lets. Its premise for this adaptive re-use is based upon the willingness of the general public to pay for the experience of staying in historic buildings restored to the highest standards. The buildings' futures are then secured through this renewed vitality. Landmark is now the largest buildings preservation trust in the United Kingdom, with some 200 properties in its care. These cover a wide range of building types, each building requiring its own carefully drawn-up scheme. Four case studies illustrate both the flexibility and the rigour of this particular approach to adaptive re-use.
