Building in existing fabric

Innovative concepts for new uses

Creativity with existing buildings

The disused power station becomes a major art gallery, the old hay barn becomes a home. Everywhere we go, we see buildings that offer scope for new uses. There is just as much demand for unusual concepts as there is a need to take a sensitive approach to redeveloping existing buildings. The structural and technical requirements differ as much as the buildings themselves. Whether the restoration of a protected monument, considerate renovation or progressive remodelling, “Building in Existing Fabric” presents innovative solutions from around the world. From the spatial context to large-scale details, all drawings have been carefully researched and are presented to the usual high standards.

  • Creative new additions to historical buildings
  • Aesthetic and technical solutions in detail
  • Whether originally a monastery, barn or prefab apartment block, international
  • projects show some inspiring solutions
