    Nature

    Sustaining the environment is one of the 3 pillars of sustainability. Reusing existing buildings is inherently sustainable as it minimises waste, the loss of stored energy, and the manufacture and transportation of new materials.

    Adaptive reuse of buildings often includes the upgrade of services & systems to contemporary environmental standards.

    Economy

     

    Sustaining the economy is one of the 3 pillars of sustainability.

     

    Retaining & reusing existing buildings is inherently more cost effective & value adding than demolition and new construction due to time and material costs related to manufacture, transport and installation.

     

    Earlier completion reduces holding costs, finance costs and lost revenues.

    Society 

     

    Sustaining people’s lives and society is also one of the 3 pillars of sustainability.

     

    Retaining existing buildings has positive emotional, social & communal qualities as they are symbols of history, identity, continuity & cohesion.

     

    The patina & craftsmanship of old materials is not possible to replicate authentically in modern times.

    Tourism

     

    Places to stay adapted from heritage buildings contribute positively to sustainable tourism which is vital for a sustainable world. 

     

    The growing size, spread, depth and diversification of tourism is perfectly catered to by the spectacular range & prevalence of adapted accommodation. 

     

    They have the ability to both respond to & create tourism demand in all corners of the globe.

    Built Environment

     

    Buildings have a massive impact on a sustainable world.  Retaining existing buildings contributes to all 3 attributes of sustainability – nature, economy and society.

    Heritage

     

    The awareness, appreciation, value & reinvigoration of heritage is critical to a sustainable world.

     

    Heritage embraces not just the built environment but also cultural, social & environmental heritage, so vital to tourism.

    Many Accomodari properties have formal heritage listings in their national, regional or local communities, whilst ALL of them have heritage qualities due to their survival.

     

    Heritage properties are well suited for adaptation to accommodation, with Government owned or operated heritage properties particularly well suited due the fundamentally public nature of hospitality welcoming anyone & everyone.
