Heritage Design Advice

The adaptive re-use of heritage buildings into renewed functions
and uses is an art. The subtlety required to transform them
without losing fabric or the significance of the place is a rare
science. If not done properly, the results appear heavy handed
and crass. Working exclusively in the field, Rappoport has
had more than thirty years experience in the adaptive re-use
of heritage buildings and places. It is able to offer its clients
the most up to date advice on how such buildings can be
transformed and therefore increases the chances of approval
by authorities having jurisdiction over the works. Setting, scale,
bulk, height, curtilage, relationship of new to old and interiors
are all factors that need to be taken into account especially with
respect to streetscape context and architectural styles.
