Section on conservation works and damage?

The conservation, a giant porous box, for Hill House, is pretty interesting in and of itself, but it's only the most passing mention and explanation. 2A01:388:505:150:0:0:1:19 (talk) 10:29, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Any progress reports on the major restoration on periodicals yet? Maybe more concrete findings to explain how the exterior was planned? Per the source, it states the box will be in place between 2019 and up to ten years maximum. As (quote) (t)he house is wrapped in the world’s largest chainmail structure… (unquote), visitors are allowed to have a view of the roof, chimneys and exterior details as they climb the scaffold built in the encasing cocooning the architecture. -- Omotecho (talk) 00:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

The box architects are saying that the conservation will "will take up to 15 years". One of the architects has published an article on the box in Architecture and Urbanism Magazine 2022:10, but this is behind a paywall.

Also see this from the box builders - it was a £3 million project. AlasdairW (talk) 21:13, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

@AlasdairW, hello, Appreciate your swift and concrete reply. While as my source was somewhat dated at 24 September 2018, your clues encouraged me to look further. I wish to note names as Carmody Groarke as well as surveyor Gardiner & Theobald, to start translating the article as start up. Cheers,0-- Omotecho (talk) 14:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
