Project Categories

Restoration

A restoration project is one that involves repair and restoration to return a heritage building (interior and/or exterior) or site to its original architectural splendour for the same use for which it was originally designed.

Revitalisation

A revitalisation project refers to the adaptive reuse of a heritage building (interior and/or exterior) or site that may involve new additions, modifications and restoration to render a heritage building or site suitable for a new functional purpose that is different from its original use.

Interpretation

An interpretation project is one that involves means of interpreting the heritage of an historic building (interior and/or exterior) or site for the general public, such as in the form of  permanent or temporary exhibitions,  and/or an interpretation centre or a museum attached to a heritage site or building.
