Preservation, for us, is not a style or a market category. It is a discipline—one that begins with restraint, careful observation, and respect for the intelligence embedded in existing structures. Whether a project involves relocation, reconstruction, adaptive reuse, or quiet repair, our work is guided by an ethic of continuity: understanding what already exists before deciding how, or whether, to intervene.
We approach preservation as a process rather than a product. It requires archival research, material literacy, and close collaboration with historians, institutions, craftspeople, and regulatory bodies. Just as importantly, it demands an attentiveness to atmosphere and memory—to the intangible qualities that give a place meaning beyond its physical components.
The projects referenced below represent moments when that commitment was central to the work. In each case, preservation was not an afterthought, but the framework through which design decisions were made. These projects are documented within our broader body of work and are linked here as points of reference rather than as a separate portfolio.
