Buro Happold
BRINGING A NEW LEASE OF LIFE
TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND SPACES
The effective refurbishment and reuse of existing building stock is a vital element in sustainable
urban development and Buro Happold’s expertise has helped to create some of the most
spectacular examples in recent years.
There are many reasons for refurbishment and
re-use. A building may be upgraded to improve
accessibility, to reduce energy consumption, or simply
bring its appearance up to date. A property may be
changing its purpose, or a whole urban district may
be reinventing itself to better meet the needs of a
changing community, or to trigger economic and social
regeneration.
We bring specialist knowledge and skills to projects
of any scale, helping clients to see the full potential of
their refurbishment schemes, supporting them through
survey, design and project management processes.
Our extensive knowledge of complex planning and
regulation procedures, including those for heritage and
protected sites, means that we can help clients navigate
their path efficiently and effectively. Refurbishment
projects can be undertaken while buildings are
occupied, in stages to ease cash-flow management and
in partnership with large or small contractor teams.
With experience ranging from iconic projects such
as Highbury Square and the stunning Lakeshore
development, right through to micro-projects like
Retrofit for the Future, we are delivering projects which
create incredible new spaces for people to occupy
and enjoy.
