Adaptive Reuse and Feasibility
The architectural historians are highly qualified to conduct feasibility studies, make policy recommendations, and monitor the physical application of adaptive reuses to historic buildings. The firm understands that the adaptive reuse of historic buildings requires a unique balance of policies and procedures to comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings and the State Historical Building Code, while maintaining the important character-defining features of a historic building. The firm works with a team of specialists, including licensed surveyors, structural engineers, and historical architects to provide the evidence needed to make practical and defendable feasibility determinations.
