With sensitivity and in a collaborative manner, we can guide discussions and provide assessments about the treatment of the original fabric, what can be restored or would better be excised, and any new additions. Recognizing that history and heritage aren’t static entities, but rather are themselves constantly in a state of flux and reassessment, we see our adaptive reuse projects as hybrid creations that stage an interesting dialogue between collective memory and the present moment. Just as cities are continually changing and assuming new purposes, so too should traditional buildings and spaces. Where feasible, we pay homage to the fine craftsmanship of the past by preserving historical motifs and allowing them to offer inspiration to the new design.
