Balancing innovation and historical sensitivity
Our Adaptive Reuse practice brings creativity, insight and the expertise of our multidisciplinary firm. Whether stewarding mid-century modern icons into the 21st century or reimagining classical forms for contemporary needs, we are experienced in working with historic buildings of all types.
It can be a bold architectural statement not to build anew but to transform—and this is an inherently sustainable approach as we reinvent our cities for the future.

Perspective
As more cities each year pledge to cut carbon emissions, adaptive reuse is an essential component of sustainable development. Creative solutions to renew the buildings we already have will make the difference in the fight against climate change.
