Architecture

Every project that crosses through Boreas has an existing building, be it a renovation, addition, repurposing or a restoration. Most of our projects have a heritage component. More than just details, Boreas Architecture & Civic Design brings heritage elements into overall liveable architectural projects.

Participatory heritage

Heritage can be presented as a museum piece, though our favourite presentation is “participatory heritage”.
