In this issue of BluPrint : The clean slate: isn't this what most of us wish for in a year's beginning, or any beginning for that matter? But what happens when you're not given the opportunity to start from scratch? Enter Renovation, Retrofit, and Reuse--three handy R's helping architects and designers bust through the rubble. In BluPrint's first issue for 2017, Jim Caumeron guts a cookie cutter house to build a new core and Budji+Royal takes over a project to transform it into a tropical haven. Heim Interiors realizes a nitpicker's dream while Studio Ong shares some lessons on renovation. Some sprucing up also happens in Recto's Laperal Apartments, the old Tutuban Station, and the former Jaro city hall in Iloilo. With ingenuity and spunk, buildings can go from all kinds of awry to every kind of right.
