In addition, building renovation can be linked to the modern development trend of sustainable development, and the renovation of buildings can be done in an environmentally friendly way. In this study, a case study of a building lobby and the HSBC Tower in London was conducted. An overview of the current state of building renovation is given. In today's rapidly developing urban environments, building renovation has become a vital design practice, with building renovation and remodeling focusing not only on the form of the building but also on the redefinition of functional, cultural, and social values. Literature on building remodeling and renovation was also systematically reviewed.
