Arup is a global collective of designers, engineers, architects, and consultants dedicated to shaping a better world through sustainable and innovative built environment solutions. With over 70 years of experience, Arup is renowned for its holistic approach to complex challenges, delivering transformative outcomes across infrastructure, buildings, and cities.
In the realm of building retrofits, Arup leads with a vision of adaptive reuse and sustainable transformation. Recognizing that nearly 87% of today’s buildings will still be in use by 2050, Arup champions retrofit as a vital strategy for decarbonizing the built environment. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, Arup helps clients unlock the potential of existing structures—extending their lifespan, enhancing performance, and aligning them with modern needs.
Arup’s retrofit services span structural upgrades, façade enhancements, energy efficiency improvements, and spatial reconfigurations. From heritage restorations like Venice’s Procuratie Vecchie to expansive reuse projects such as London’s 1 Triton Square, Arup combines data-driven insights with creative design to deliver future-ready spaces. Their work ensures that buildings are not only environmentally responsible but also economically viable and culturally significant.
Through retrofit, Arup empowers clients to reduce carbon footprints, preserve architectural identity, and embrace a more resilient, circular approach to the built environment.
