This conversion of a century-old former Masonic Lodge into an architects’ office is a striking transformation. Surface paint has been removed to reveal the original brick. Window openings have been extended below existing lintels, bringing more light inside and creating a warm, vibrant interior for the surrounding residential neighbourhood. This is a clever and carefully executed reinvention of a once-derelict building, thoughtfully detailed with hands-on effort from its new owners and designers. The project shows that effective ecological design can begin with saving and reusing an existing building.
