Expertise Transformation

Circular with a second life

Our firm likes to give buildings a second life. We want to prevent vacancy, want to make buildings up-to-date and give them meaning again.

FROM OFFICE BUILDING TO NATIONAL MONUMENT

Existing buildings get new functions, monumental buildings are being restored or will even get a completely new function, fit to present day. We are experienced in supervising different kinds of transformations; from a modern office building or school, to museums and a National Monument.

HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY USE COMBINED

To be able to transform a building, you need craftsmanship and expertise. Our firm has a clear eye for the historical values of a building. We use our creativity and knowledge to provide insight in the qualities of the exiting building. We know how to combine the historical values respectfully with the present-day (technical) requirements and with the identity of the current user. By doing so, we create a new, inspiring, distinctive environment with character.

SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTING FOR EXISTING REAL ESTATE

We are fully aware of all the strict and complex rules that come with working on existing real estate, heritage and monuments and we own a BREEAM ‘In Use’ certificate. Because of this, our office is also capable of doing sustainability quick scans for existing real estate and of advising clients about sustainable and durable measures.
