Everything Is Transformed
Working with what already exists, saving what we can, and scaling up rehabilitation is now absolutely vital if we hope to mitigate the environmental impact of the construction industry. More expensive and complex than new builds, conversions demand creativity, ingenuity, bold approaches to work with and accommodate existing characteristics while sidestepping the standardized methods applied to situations devoid of uncertainty. They contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in our sector in view of achieving a more sustainable and environmentally friendly construction industry.
Beyond their environmental dimension, rehabilitation projects have a strong social and cultural dimension. By preserving existing buildings and adapting them to current needs, these initiatives help to maintain the collective memory of places. They strengthen the identity and uniqueness of districts, preserving our architectural heritage while promoting the mix of uses.
Transforming is not just about improving energy performance, it is also a matter of encompassing social aspects, such as the revitalization of neighborhoods and the preservation of the existing urban fabric. By investing in rehabilitation, we are actively working to build a sustainable future, reconciling the preservation of heritage and the protection of our environment.
