HML is pleased to participate in the international architecture conference Structum "The Global Triumph of Iconic Architecture: When Extraordinary Compositions Become Exemplars", which will take place on September 12 from 10:00 AM. At the annual international architectural conference STRUCTUM, prominent Lithuanian and foreign architects and representatives of the construction business will present themselves, sharing insights into the creation of iconic architectural structures, their impact on the image of the city and people's well-being. Leo O' Neill from HML Project Management will discuss the critical factors when incorporating buildings of heritage into modern structures, the typical cost impacts and how to best calculate the unknown, while maintaining the original building concept, how it should be planned and discuss the myths that new construction is more expensive than renovation. #projectmanagement #presentation #structum

ver·nac·u·lar /vərˈnakyələr/ noun: vernacular ▪ architecture concerned with domestic and functional rather than public or monumental buildings 🔔 In Philadelphia, vernacular architecture ("vernacular") aids development and permitting by aligning new projects with local aesthetics, easing community concerns, and supporting historical preservation. 🐉 Developers and architects like us, at AVLV Architecture & Development, use these familiar materials and styles to blend in with the identifiable character of any given neighborhood ── improving community acceptance and giving credence to the builders before us. -- #avlv #sustainable #architecture #realestatedevelopment #phillyarchitecture #phillydevelopment

The Hidden Power of Natural Light in Design in Architecture We often talk about architecture in terms of form and function, but what about its impact on our well-being? Natural light is one of the most overlooked elements that can transform how we feel in a space. Studies show that spaces flooded with daylight can reduce stress, boost mood, and even increase productivity. As architects, we have the power to shape not just the walls and roofs, but the very quality of life inside them. How can we be more intentional about designing for well-being in every project? #WellbeingThroughDesign #NaturalLight #HumanCenteredArchitecture
