REVITALIZATION | RENOVATION | PRESERVATION
Not only is historic preservation important to conserve historic culture for future generations, but it is also an essential principle of sustainable design. Revitalization means less impact on our environment while adapting to new technology. Langton Associates’ knowledge and experience makes us uniquely qualified to guide the process of maintaining history and adapting to future needs. Our commitment is to create designs which are accessible, functional, and compatible within the existing environments, while maintaining the building’s character. Our process, applicable to all existing structures, begins with assessment and evaluation to identify both assets and liabilities. Whether the facility is 10 years or over 100 years old, Langton Associates applies expertise to uncover the unique character within structures.

PROGRAMMING | NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Pre-Design establishes the criteria for measuring the success of the design. Starting with a questionnaire, space programming is dependent upon listening and experiencing activities firsthand. Data collection and professional analysis are critical. The formulation of a detailed programming document is necessary for project success and quality design. COMMUNICATION
Langton Associates thoroughly documents each discussion, encouraging consistent communication. From the inception of the design, all parties collaborate, develop key data and required information. Schedules are developed involving all disciplines consistent with project goals. QUALITY
Quality control is a team responsibility and discipline from beginning to completion. Developing mock-ups and samples throughout the process will ensure material quality and fabrication. Reviewing materials previously used will help determine future performance, appearance, maintenance, and durability. Quality control will minimize ongoing future maintenance. SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability begins with many simple principles such as preservation, economics, and respect for the environment. Sustainable design is not recent, but has been a design requirement. Design features can include energy and water conservation, nontoxic materials and finishes, and sustainable operations and maintenance. Sustainability can be implemented with economic discipline and feasible paybacks while adhering to the financial parameters. AESTHETICS | APPEARANCE
There is not a set style or standard answer to space needs. Solving the problem leads to good architectural design. Analyzing multiple concepts will provide the direction for achieving the appropriate environment. Langton Associates will enhance and supplement the client's vision. |
