Preservation

At Narrate, sustainability is simply part of architecture. We design buildings to outlast their original purpose and take on new life—an approach reflected in our deep experience with preservation, adaptive reuse, and renovation. Reimagining existing structures is the ultimate form of recycling, benefiting both the environment and the community. These projects require specialized skills, research, and collaboration—areas where we excel. We’ve revitalized buildings for ourselves and our clients, working closely with community leaders, preservation experts, and funding partners to deliver meaningful results within budget and schedule.
