Building Retrofit

The built environment is a major contributor to the environmental pressures our world is facing. The retrofit of existing buildings is crucial to support our path to meeting net-zero carbon targets. Together, we can transform and reuse existing buildings wherever possible, innovating and collaborating, to shape a better future for generations to come.

Along with environmental benefits, the commercial and social returns of transforming and reusing existing buildings are also clear. It often proves far more cost-effective for clients than demolishing and reconstructing, creating characterful places for occupiers whilst preserving heritage value for communities.

We have worked with incredible clients to deliver award-winning buildings, often recognised for their remarkable sustainable credentials. Repurposing buildings that is the sustainable way to meet new needs and purposes. The careful repair and creative adaption of protected buildings celebrates their distinctive historical and cultural features that make them special.

We carefully consider each development phase to sympathetically adapt existing structures whilst enhancing performance and functionality. This includes turning ageing offices into flexible workspaces, derelict yards into shopping districts and industrial structures into homes, as well as extending the life of historic buildings and upgrading their performance.
