Adaptive Reuse

Preserving character. Transforming purpose.

 

Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive reuse repurposes older buildings for new uses. We begin this transformative process by understanding the character- defining features of a structure and then creatively discerning how those "bones" might accommodate new programs. We then seek ways to make alterations and additions that are sympathetic to the building's original design concept. Our work brings new life to a site while remaining sympathetic to its original character. We honor what has come before but find new inspiration for old spaces, new purposes for existing structures, new life for derelict sites and buildings. Our adaptive reuse projects transform streets, neighborhoods and districts, add urban vitality and richness, and bring relevance and meaning to cities and the continuum of time and place.
