Renovation & Refurbishment: Inherently Sustainable, Adaptive, and Smart Design!

Built environments offer a tangible connection to the past, allowing us to understand the values, ambitions, and lives of those who came before us. At APED, we recognize the importance of preserving historic or old buildings and the stories they tell. However, the spatial and functional requirements of a building can evolve over time, making renovation a cost-effective design solution to maintain the relevance of the built environment.

Renovation may pose challenges compared to new construction, but it is less expensive, better for the planet, and requires fewer new materials and less embodied carbon. Whether it’s a standard renovation, adaptive re-use, or historic preservation project, smart design can achieve multiple goals.
