Chamberlin Architects feels strongly that the reuse/recycling/ repurposing of existing buildings is environmentally responsible and can be as challenging as new construction.

Analysis and rehabilitation of historic structures is a significant focus of our work. We have provided preservation architectural services to Department of the Interior National Park Service and the USDA Forest Service on culturally significant structures, and have worked closely with many State Historical Preservation Officers. The Museums of Western Colorado presented Chamberlin Architects with their 2016 Preservation Award.
