The Old Lodge in Hamilton, a project completed in 2024 by APG Architects, showcases a classic building style. The renovation of this 1924 double skin brick building was guided by a strong commitment to sustainability and heritage preservation. The multidisciplinary team worked together to transform the dilapidated structure into modern office spaces, respecting the building's historical character while meeting sustainability requirements.
The project received the Excellence in Sustainability - Central Property Award Finalist in 2024, highlighting the team's innovative approach to preserving history while promoting environmental stewardship. Through thoughtful design, innovative engineering, and community engagement, The Old Lodge stands as a benchmark for future heritage renovations. The team meticulously restored original features, repurposed existing materials, and integrated modern sustainability practices to reduce the project's environmental footprint. This collaborative effort not only transformed a heritage building into a modern, sustainable office space but also fostered a strong connection with the local community, setting a high standard for future projects.
