Renovation is a process of improving or updating an existing structure. This can range from simple interior design like cosmetic changes, such as repainting or replacing fixtures, to more extensive renovations, such as adding rooms or reconfiguring the layout, which an architect or architecture firm can help you with. The renovation begins with assessing the current structure and a clear understanding of the client’s goals and preferences.
One of the key considerations in a renovation project is preserving the character and integrity of the existing structure. This may involve retaining original features, such as moldings or fireplaces, and using materials that complement the existing design. At the same time, the renovation should incorporate modern technologies and systems to improve the functionality and energy efficiency of the structure.
Sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in renovation projects. This may involve upgrading insulation, installing energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, and using environmentally friendly materials. These changes can help to reduce the environmental impact of the structure and lower energy costs.
We have done a few of renovation projects ourselves, like Dr. Shakeela House in Harley Street, Mr. Aashiq House in G-11, and Ihsan Hotel in Kalam are few of the residential houses that we have renovated in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. For Farmhouses Jamal Farmhouse is a very good example.
In conclusion, renovation is a complex process that involves balancing the preservation of the existing structure with the implementation of modern technologies and systems. The renovation must consider the client’s goals and preferences, the surrounding environment, and the use of sustainable materials and construction techniques. The aim is to create a structure that is functional, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing.
