Eleni Makri is a Chartered and Registered Architect, and a qualified and accredited Conservation Architect with extensive and diverse experience in the public and private sector both as a consultant and as an architect.

Eleni is the Managing Director of Conservation PD (Planning + Design). She founded the practice in 2006 with the aspiration of offering comprehensive conservation expertise to exemplary standards while reconciling the authentic old with contemporary architecture.  She had previously spent 6 years as the Heritage Associate Director at the Halpern Partnership (now Formation Architects) and 6 years as the English Heritage part - funded conservation officer in the London Borough of Haringey.

At Halpern, Eleni set up and managed a Heritage Team to best serve an evergrowing following of prestigious private and corporate clients as well as the conservation related needs of the practice. Noted work from this period includes 100 Park Lane, Kent House, Horton Kirby and the Curzon in Mayfair. It was at this time that Eleni developed her interest in 1960s listed buildings such as the Curzon in London's Mayfair and metal windows, which she later followed up with publication including the Chapter on Metal (windows) in the Windows by Donhead publishing 2006.
