As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience, but here are some suggestions:
1. Research the historical and architectural significance of the site - Understand the significance and historical context of the building, what stories does it tell, and what is the original intent of the design.
2. Consider the style of architecture - Determine the appropriate style of landscaping that will complement the architectural style of the building. For instance, a colonial style building may require a traditional landscape with a formal garden.
3. Use appropriate plant species - Choose plant species that were used during the building's period or that complement the historical or architectural significance of the building.
4. Utilize appropriate techniques and materials - Use construction, irrigation, and landscaping techniques that were available during the building period or modern ones that replicate the original techniques.
5. Protect the integrity of the building - Ensure that the landscaping does not compromise or damage the building's structural integrity or pose any other threats to its heritage.
6. Use historical or original features - Incorporate original landscape features, such as fountains, walls, and pathways, where possible, or designs that mimic the historical features without impacting its integrity.
7. Work with a professional team - Collaborate with professionals such as architects, designers, historians, landscape conservationists, and arborists to create an accurate and appropriate historic or architectural conservation landscape.
