Redevelop / Adaptive Reuse
The rehabilitation of buildings is an inherently sustainable act, extending the life of a building, encouraging existing infrastructure versus continued sprawl, and reducing new energy expelled for construction. Transformation may be slight and thoughtful or implemented by bold spirit — all handled by respectful intervention and adherence to historic preservation. We have led the adaptive reuse and redevelopment of many existing facilities, bringing new life and renewed purpose into built environments.
