Welcome back to my series of practical tips and experience-sharing on adaptive reuse.The issues below do not form an exhaustive list, but serve as a good starter-kit of knowledge if you’re new to adaptive reuse of old buildings. Understanding them will enable you to troubleshoot and identify problems in an old building before you set out on the renovation design and strategies.Many old pre-war buildings use building materials such as asbestos, which is harmful to health.
Even though experts noted that asbestos is not harmful in undisturbed state, it is best practice that all existing asbestos ceilings are safely removed prior to any renovation. Once you discover the presence of termite infestations in any part of the house, it is a red flag. Engage a termite specialist to investigate thoroughly the extent of termite attacks on the entire building.
What’s important to note is that a permeable wall requires repair works using similar lime plaster and not the modern use of cement plaster. Walls with lime plaster will also require “breathable” paint to work seamlessly.
