WORKING WITH EXISTING ARCHITECTURE
Working within an existing building is rarely about imposing something new.
It begins with understanding what is already there.
Proportions, original detailing, structure and materials all establish a character that new construction needs to respect.
Sometimes that means reinstating details that have been lost. In other areas, it means introducing contemporary elements that sit comfortably alongside the original features.
Much of the work comes down to how the old and new meet.
Getting those details right takes careful planning and coordination, particularly where different materials, finishes and structural elements come together.
When it’s done well, the new work feels like it has always belonged there.
