My approach towards a building renovation project

The architect's first step is to check whether the building has the potential to be renovated, i.e. whether it is worth investing in it.

If so, my approach is fourfold: safety, health, functionality and happiness.

Safety is a priority. In the case of a building in a very poor state of repair, intervening in terms of safety can mean preventing the building from falling into ruin.

The health of the building is also a key. Good air and sunlight conditions are vital.

Functionality, making the inhabitants' daily lives more pleasant.

Happiness is the "icing on the cake" !

Construction work can be carried out in stages and the amount of investment varies greatly. It depends on the condition of the building, the architect's ability to find the most suitable architectural solutions and, last but not the least, the client's wishes.

Not all projects require the traditional municipal licence, but note that the services of an architect are an investment with a return in the short, medium and long term. Good architecture improves your quality of life!
