Renovation
Fresh possibility, thoughtfully realized around what’s there.
Guiding principles
• Begin by looking carefully at what is already there.
• Respect what is structurally, historically, and aesthetically sound and expand on it.
• Find solutions that balance the old and the new.
• Improve aesthetic value, including the qualities of light and relationship to the site.
• Improve functional value, including energy efficiency and smart use of materials.
• Minimize demolition and reuse whatever can be salvaged.
