Transformation

To make more room for a sustainable future,
we must use things that already exist.

When we consider sustainability, innovative technological approaches and measures in future, we realize that the key tools and solutions in architecture involve reconstructing, adapting, reorganizing spaces and recycling.

Today, these processes have become essentially important due to numerous issues related to climate change, rising land and construction costs, limited land availability and shifting lifestyle trends. However, it is also crucial to remember the value of preserving historical context and achieving a balanced coexistence between old and new. This harmony is highly important for the vitality and identity of a community.

For this reason precisely, Zabriskie’s team approach to transformation of spaces is guided by an analysis of construction and spatial possibilities to answer “how” transformation should be underdone, as well as the analysis of the environment and context to answer “why” it needs to be done in a specific manner.

Through planning, designing and reprogramming, we create a new purpose for the existing building, respond more efficiently to contemporary needs and act responsibly towards the environment. We do this by utilizing recycled or reused materials, and by designing technological systems that are easy to maintain.

At the same time, we strive to preserve the values ​​of each building and to find solutions for the further development of its use through dialogue with all the participants in the project.

In the process of creating
transformation, our focuses are:

01

Fundamental analysis of the existing structure

02

Preserving the identity of the environment

03

Developing a new identity and new impulses

04

Preserving and
increasing value

05

Responsible, sustainable and rational design
