Spaces are not romanticized relics, but functional elements of our built environment that carry practical histories. Buildings are records of their time representing not only the physical work of construction but the social, economic, and cultural contexts in which they were created. These projects are a pragmatic act that involve understanding and addressing the layered history of a building. They are not about idealizing the past, but about recognizing how a building’s physical form and materiality have been shaped by time, use, and change. Focuse is on maintaining structural integrity, improving functionality, and ensuring that the building meets contemporary needs, all while respecting its historical significance. The process involves a careful balance between preservation and adaptation.My aim is to make interventions that are respectful of the building’s original design and materiality while ensuring its relevance in modern contexts. Through thoughtful, evidence-based strategies, it ensures that buildings continue to serve their function while acknowledging the history they carry.
