Why 'Heritage Reimagined'

At SIU Consulting, led by Julian Siu, we investigate and implement innovative approaches to heritage management. Our focus is on the identification, conservation, management, and celebration of heritage values embedded in the built fabric, landscapes, visual connections, uses, cultural practices, and the intangible connections with place.  

We embrace the challenges posed by places of heritage significance and recognize the necessity for change, contemporary amenities, and new uses. By prioritizing the investigation of options and welcoming 'out-of-the-box' alternatives, we ensure a rigorous multi-faceted assessment of these factors to achieve a preferred outcome.  

Through our comprehensive heritage services, we actively collaborate with architects, urban designers, town planners, engineers, consent authorities, communities, and our clients to reimagine the potential for heritage places.

At SIU Consulting, you're not just hiring a heritage consultant; we position ourselves as embedded heritage specialists within your company. By fostering a lasting relationship and gaining a deep understanding of your core values and ambitions, we work closely with your team to ensure that heritage values are effectively integrated and reimagined in innovative ways.

We provide the capabilities of a senior experienced heritage specialist as an extension of your project team, delivering valuable insights and managing risks. Additionally, our heritage services are designed to build your team's capacity, enhancing their understanding of heritage processes, and its potential to be reimagined creatively.

"Heritage" encompasses historical events and achievements, fostering ongoing connections with places while cultivating an evolving understanding of what holds significance. 

"Reimagined" involves grasping the essence of that heritage and thoughtfully integrating it to add value to our lives today and in the future. 

At SIU Consulting, our heritage services extend beyond merely preserving old buildings and archaeological sites. We work with living cultural landscapes, consider dynamic visual catchments, and interpret both historic and contemporary narratives. 

Our ethos, championed by Julian Siu, is that heritage is an asset, conservation is a collaborative effort, and positive outcomes are just a reimagination away.
