Preservation vs modernity
- How can existing buildings be sympathetically reinvented as new spaces which respond flexibly to the future requirements of occupiers
- Respecting the design, materials and form of the original building and its relationship to its context
- Meeting current standards on environmental sustainability without compromising the appearance of the original design
- Turning the constraints of original layouts into opportunities to create innovative spaces for a new generation of occupiers
