Adaptive Reuse
Huber Architects has been involved in historic preservation/restoration, adaptive re-use, and Historic Tax Credit work for 45 years. Understanding of older building construction and materials allow our team to readily assess the potentials for salvage, restoration and adaptation.
Older buildings often hold the potential for becoming unique and functional renovated buildings, with the benefit of preserving the historic fabric of those buildings’ environs. Renovating an existing building can be more cost-effective than building new and is often more environmentally friendly than using undeveloped land and new building materials to satisfy the same building program needs.
Historic Tax Credits
Huber Architects has been very involved with the Historic Preservation Tax Credit programs at both the State and Federal levels. These programs afford qualified projects an excellent funding source for rehabilitating historic structures, yielding as much as 45% of the qualified rehabilitation expenses in the form of Tax Credits. We have helped numerous clients qualify and apply for these credits.
