DRO Publication No. 1 – Adaptive Reuse Framework for Office to Residential and Hotel Conversions

CPG’s Design & Research Office (DRO) produced a short-form publication on the feasibility of Office to Residential and Hotel Conversions in Singapore. DRO’s findings show that there is much potential for office conversion projects in Singapore from the design, technical and financial perspectives, especially when they are converted into hotels. By reframing existing building stock as material resources and embodied carbon repositories, we can prolong their lifespans, avoid unnecessary material wastage, and encourage creative adaptive reuse solutions.
