Inheritance Design

Methods for inheriting values

At Mitsubishi Jisho Design, in our "Inheritance Design" efforts, we employ a balanced approach to various preservation and utilization methods, including 01 taking steps toward cultural property registration, 02 utilizing various systems, 03 adding functions for facility utilization, and 04 updating the design to suit the times, in order to inherit the value of each property.


01 Positioning of historical value through cultural property registration

When preserving and utilizing historical buildings, it is necessary to clearly identify the historical value of the building and the points that bring about that value. One possible means for doing this is to use the cultural property designation and registration system.
We handle various committees related to cultural properties, handle procedures for subsidized projects, and formulate preservation and utilization plans.


02 Value inheritance through utilization of various systems and compatibility with development

In order to preserve the value of a historic building in a city, it is necessary to renovate it into a building with new functions that meet the needs of the times and the region, to coexist with development in a beneficial way, and to make the project economically viable. In order to meet these given conditions and arrive at the optimal solution for the project, it is necessary to incorporate a variety of value preservation methods.
We have been involved in many urban redevelopment projects that involve preserving the value of historical buildings, and we can propose a variety of methods that correspond to the historical value of the buildings, the characteristics of the issues that need to be resolved, and the utilization of systems (cultural assets and urban planning) to make the project viable.

03 Creating new functional value through recycling

In order to properly preserve the value of historical buildings, it is necessary to "regenerate" their functionality in line with the needs of the times and society.
Based on our extensive experience, we can propose appropriate repair methods and ensure safety for areas with historical value, as well as ways to preserve value while updating the functionality necessary to ensure that buildings can be used for a long time in response to future demands and local needs.
