Home Renovation
Member work on renovating existing homes, covering courtyard insertions, heritage restoration, and reuse of residential and commercial buildings.
Home renovation adapts existing houses to new uses, household needs, or contemporary standards while working with the structure, materials, and history already in place. Projects range from light interventions that reorganize plans to deep retrofits that reshape a building's relationship to its site.
Community work under this topic shows how architects open up enclosed plans with courtyards and gardens, convert heritage houses for hybrid work and hospitality, and extend or repurpose buildings for public functions. Examples span Bangkok, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Quebec.
