[…] A current project in Ireland is transforming a 19th-century mill and maltings into a distillery powered in part by a restored waterwheel and MVR system—an exemplar of adaptive reuse that combines sustainable performance. At The Cairn Distillery, circular planning and low-carbon materials like a sedum roof and dark stone allowed for a contemporary, nature-integrated gateway […]

[…] all of our regions – Canada, US and UK – there are incentive programs from cities and planning departments that are seeking to densify urban cores through adaptive reuse. They understand that in order to sustain or grow their tax base, they need to incentivize owners and developers. Further, new investment attracts additional capital. Our […]

Adaptive reuse transforms heritage department store into digital and gaming hub

[…] sculptural elements made from copper salvaged from the original roof, creating a material connection between the building’s past and its new parliamentary role. The result is an adaptive reuse project that preserves the building’s civic presence while supporting new offices, committee rooms, library functions, and public circulation in a cohesive architectural response. This multi-award-winning building […]

[…] in the design and feature reglazing of the windows in the open atrium, a green roof space, more efficient chiller and HVAC system, and reuse of the existing electrical feed. The office to hotel conversion is a great example of adaptive reuse. It will bring human scale to an existing building and enhance the guest experience.

[…] to market while maintaining quality and consistency across prototypes, rollouts, and multi-site programs, with a focus on adaptability and performance. He sees second-generation spaces as opportunities for adaptive reuse, transforming underutilized assets into sustainable, high-performing destinations that elevate the guest experience and deliver long-term value. Ricardo believes successful design brings people together, giving them a […]

[…] assets. Modernized hospital systems are introducing low-carbon energy infrastructure even in remote island environments. In the Scotch whisky sector, distilleries integrating mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) technology now reuse process heat once lost to the atmosphere—an approach that is moving an energy-intensive industry toward lower-carbon production. With integrated architectural and engineering design, efficiency is embedded […]

[…] Green building mandates address resiliency by encouraging the use of flexible, durable building materials, design strategies that factor embodied carbon reductions, as well as the use, and reuse, of architectural components of the building fabric for their carbon and aesthetic value. Engineers play an important role in designing resiliency into structures, which allows them […]

[…] the realities facing the built environment today: aging assets, faster delivery, the transition to electrification and renewable energy, and climate resilience. Much of his work focuses on adaptive reuse, retrofits, and upgrades to active buildings, including airports, laboratories, public buildings, and commercial spaces.
