Sustainability Report

The project is itself an example of adaptive reuse, extending the life of an existing traditional townhouse rather than replacing it with new construction. By preserving the original structure and working primarily with existing materials and spatial arrangements, the renovation minimizes irreversible interventions and allows the building to continue evolving over time. The approach prioritizes adaptability through repair, reuse, and small-scale modifications rather than extensive structural transformation, leaving opportunities for future generations to reinterpret the house according to changing needs.

Circularity is central to the project's design strategy. Rather than introducing new building components, the renovation gives existing materials and objects a second life through creative reuse. Timber doors, ceramic tiles, reclaimed metal elements, roof tiles, and everyday objects were adapted into new architectural components, including furniture fittings, lighting, and interior finishes.

Many of these smaller elements, such as lamps, handles, curtains, and other fittings, can be removed, repaired, or repurposed in the future. The project demonstrates how the value of materials can be preserved and extended through thoughtful adaptation, reducing waste and the demand for new resources.
