The Challenge and Beauty of Historic Renovations
Renovating historic buildings is a delicate dance between the old and the new. It requires a deep understanding of historical architecture, a respect for preservation laws, and an innovative approach to integrating modern amenities. Here's how JATES rises to these challenges:
