Heritage
Heritage demands respect for the past, while also allowing room for new purposes and uses.
Repurposing heritage sites requires care. The materials, stylistic elements, and layout—all tell part of the story of a building’s former life. The art lies in preserving these qualities for the future while making space for new functions and new occupants. That’s why we balance past and present within the new context—where history literally becomes the foundation for the future.
Stories
An old school, a former town hall, or a historic farmhouse—each carries the stories of a bygone era. People met there, traded goods, and called these places home. In the new context, we ensure these stories have a place.
Responsibility
Treating heritage responsibly means ensuring that any interventions in the building leave no irreversible marks. In other words, the building’s essence—its defining characteristics—must be preserved. Old and new may contrast, but the spirit of the original building should always remain visible and tangible.
