The Benefits of Historical Context in Design
Thayer Hopkins Architects
Solving design challenges with functional creativity and excellent client collaboration since 1990.
Historic buildings represent our collective aesthetic and cultural history, connecting us to past generations. Preserving these buildings also connects us to future generations.
Rehabilitating older buildings not only adds character, but often the building materials are unique and valuable. It’s likely that old methods of workmanship were employed and economically it may be more cost effective to restore rather than replace. There may also be environmental benefits of reusing and repairing materials, reducing waste, and avoiding the hazards of tearing down old structures.
