It feels unusual in our industry to show images of worn buildings which have been home to decades of history - and look tired from the effort. Social media and reality tv urge us to nip, and to tuck - and to celebrate that result instead. However the reality is that - raising families wears out homes, along with parents. We are not good, as an industry, at taking care of what we already have. Maintenance isn’t seen as fun or sexy. View Project
