Heritage Conservation and Adaptive Reuse
Eric Rodrigues at HOK (Project Architect)
Innovative solutions for heritage buildings. With your vision and needs in mind, we design vibrant and unique architecture, maximizing the reuse of existing structures.
Adaptive reuse architecture is a powerful tool for building a vibrant, sustainable future. It enables us to take existing buildings, both modern and older structures, and renovate them into new dwellings, businesses, or even industrial sites.
Our buildings are a sustainable and energy-efficient, bold concept that reimagines existing structures and gives them new life. By utilizing adaptive reuse architecture, we can reduce energy consumption, preserve our natural landscape, and create functional spaces for today’s dynamic needs while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for residents and communities.
Our experienced architects design multi-unit residential buildings that are both aesthetic and efficient, offering an array of solutions to ensure the highest quality with minimal impact on the environment.
Boldera's strong commitment to environmental health means we always strive to build with low-impact materials and maximize natural light and ventilation.

Boldera’s Commitment to Sustainability
We believe it’s time to be bold. Architects, Planners, Developers, and Builders must be at the forefront of the sustainability discussion to ensure we build a world that our children will be proud of.
Some of the benefits of adaptive reuse include the repurposing of building materials, reducing water pollution from mining and construction sites, minimizing the costs of labour and energy associated with new builds, and ultimately creating sustainability through the innovative use of existing structures.
Adaptive reuse offers us a win-win situation with its potential to both conserve resources and provide creative solutions.
Eric Rodrigues (Founder of Boldera)
At Boldera, we don’t think of sustainability as an additional feature that you add to a building. Unfortunately, that approach has created the assumption that sustainable design is an added cost that can be removed.
We believe that sustainability is the foundation of modern architecture and should be approached as a requirement rather than an accessory. We take pride in our commitment to developing adaptive-reuse designs that are high-performing, cost-effective, and, most importantly, ecologically responsible.
At Boldera sustainability isn’t an option — it’s a requirement. Let us show you how adaptive reuse architecture can transform your project.

Your Advantages
Healthier Spaces & Better Quality of Life
We breathe new life into old buildings- and save the environment while we’re at it.
By going green, you are protecting yourself and your family from harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and plastic by-products that are known to release toxic fumes and carcinogens into the atmosphere. A healthy building will positively impact your life, improving your health and overall quality of life.
Reduce your Costs
One of the greatest benefits of adaptive reuse building is energy conservation. Adaptive reuse allows us to quickly and cost-effectively renovate existing structures with minimal disruption or environmental impact.
A building that is designed to optimize energy consumption will reduce your energy costs and water bills. Although some upfront costs may be higher than traditional non-green forms of building, the costs in the long term are recovered exponentially.
Increase your Indoor Comfort
Adaptive reuse helps optimize energy consumption which leads to lower energy bills and improved indoor temperatures throughout the building.
By taking advantage of adaptive reuse architecture, you can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing your space is safe from hazardous toxins while reaping the benefits of an eco-friendly approach.
Built to Last
At Boldera, we believe adaptive reuse architecture is the future of modern building. We specialize in adaptive reuse for both heritage and modern projects. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality adaptive reuse designs that will stand the test of time.
