Historic Renovation
Historic renovation projects are very special opportunities to revive aging, often fragile buildings of major historical significance. Repositioning and restoring historic buildings is one of the most sustainable ways to build. Treating these buildings with tender loving care is our first priority. Whether it's a renovation, an expansion, or a seismic upgrade, we take the responsibility seriously.
Working with historical preservation agencies, properly removing historical materials, preserving and restoring them, and then re-installing them is a process that requires in-depth planning, coordination and care. These efforts are critical to the success of renovation projects. Many of our historic renovations have involved replacing the entire mechanical and electrical infrastructure without disturbing its original facade. True success of an historic renovation is achieved when visitors can’t tell that we were ever in the building – except that it looks (and operates) better.
