Office Renovation
Renovation of existing office buildings, covering how designers reconfigure, reuse, and upgrade commercial interiors and structures.
Office renovation adapts existing commercial buildings to new working patterns, often without demolition. Designers work with fixed structure, legacy layouts, and building codes while reorganizing circulation, daylight, and workplace culture. The approach is typically less resource-intensive than new construction and keeps embodied carbon in place.
Members here share projects ranging from former industrial buildings converted into split-level offices to dense urban refits in Paris and Shenzhen. The examples show how renovation strategies differ by building type, city, and client priorities.
