ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS
FOR EXISTING BUILDINGS

Breathing new life into existing buildings
Renovation and redesign of existing buildings spans all our fields of activity – residential buildings from the 1970s, hospitals that are to be expanded, or hotels in need of modernization. The supreme discipline in the development on existing buildings is historic preservation. Here we have extensive experience in the refurbishment of old mills, manor houses or half-timbered buildings.

A majority of our projects focus on optimally combining old and new – in short: the extension or expansion of existing buildings or building complexes. In the commercial sector, too, we are often asked to expand existing buildings to include warehouses, administrative units or production facilities.

Before we start with the conversion or renovation of existing buildings, we want to understand the respective building in depth. Therefore, the first step is always to look at the existing inventory documents and documentations. Based on this, we carry out our own status analysis, which is accompanied by a 3D measurement by our Homann Measurement division. We compare the results of our analyses and measurements with the later requirements and use them to develop a precisely tailored target concept for the property.

In the analysis phase we also involve our planning partners with their specific technical know-how, among them experts for structural analysis, technical building equipment, sound and heat insulation, and fire protection. Fire protection in particular often plays a major role in existing properties. Thanks to our many years of experience in this field, we are able to identify and remedy any deficiencies immediately. We present the jointly developed target concept to our customers in an informative manner with attractive photo documentation and a clear 3D model.
