Residential and Commercial Renovation Architecture

Barretta & Associates provides architectural services for renovations, additions, expansions and the reuse of existing buildings throughout Delray Beach, Palm Beach County, Broward County and South Florida.

Renovation projects can be more complex than they initially appear. Unlike new construction, the architect must work with existing structural conditions, building systems and previous construction while determining how current building, accessibility, life-safety and zoning requirements affect the proposed work.

More than 50 years of architectural experience gives Barretta & Associates a practical understanding of these challenges.

Residential Renovations and Additions

Residential projects may include additions, expanded living areas, reconfigured floor plans, exterior redesign, major remodeling and modernization of older homes.

Our goal is to make new construction work naturally with the existing residence while improving functionality, appearance and value.

Where appropriate, a renovation can also provide an opportunity to rethink the home's relationship to outdoor living areas, views, natural light and the South Florida climate.

Commercial Renovations and Building Conversions

Barretta & Associates also provides architectural services for commercial renovations, office alterations, tenant improvements, building additions and changes in use.

These projects may require investigation of existing conditions and analysis of accessibility, exiting, fire protection, parking, structural capacity and mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

Evaluating these issues early can help owners make informed decisions before proceeding with substantial design and construction expenditures.

Feasibility Before Design

Before undertaking a major renovation or purchasing a property for conversion, it can be valuable to determine whether the proposed improvements are practical.

Barretta & Associates can assist with preliminary feasibility, zoning and code considerations, conceptual planning and evaluation of development alternatives before proceeding into complete construction documents.

From Existing Building to New Opportunity

An older or outdated building can represent an opportunity rather than a limitation.

Through thoughtful planning and architectural design, existing buildings can often be reconfigured, expanded or modernized to serve new residential or commercial needs. reconfigured, expanded or modernized to serve new residential or commercial needs.
