Janet Mellor Architect has worked on National Register listed building projects in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and has had training in historic preservation techniques and methodologies. Work has included renovations to residences both old and new as well as downtown revitalization. While some clients may prefer a traditional aesthetic, others choose to explore ways that contemporary architectural interventions can contrast compatibly with existing historic materials and imagery. Often the need to preserve the historic and architectural character of the original artifact can be complemented by the obvious difference between what is historic and what is clearly of the 21st century.
