Old houses offer the inhabitants glimpses into the past, stability, and character. So, it’s fair to retain some of those features during renovation. Architects for renovation tend to get creative when it comes to modern designs.

What do you do with a building that was built to glorify an oppressive Communist system but, ravaged by rain and snow and stripped bare by thieves, is now a wreck? Should it be torn down in the spirit of reckoning with history — just as the statues of Confederate generals have been toppled in the United States and monuments to Soviet hegemony have been demolished across Ukraine, particularly since Russia invaded in February?
