There is an international interest in utilizing sustainability principles and practices in the adaptive reuse of historical buildings. Egypt is one of the countries with a large number of historically significant buildings. Many historical houses and palaces have been reused due to the availability of a large number of them as well as their unique historical and architectural values. However, adaptive reuse processes face numerous challenges due to a lack of innovative methodologies for utilizing sustainability principles and practices. The research problem discussed in this article is that historical houses and palaces in Egypt lack innovative methods that contribute to employing sustainability principles and improving sustainability practices through adaptive reuse. This study aims to create a framework that helps to utilize sustainability principles in reusing historical buildings in Egypt. Qualitative methods were used to collect data through the study of literature, data analysis using the descriptive analysis method, field surveys, observation, and interviews with specialists. The results revealed the problems that prevent the effective use of sustainability principles in the local case studies and the methodologies used in the international case studies for utilizing sustainability principles in historical buildings. Based on the results, we reached some conclusions and proposed some recommendations. A framework has been created to provide an innovative methodology to utilize sustainability principles in reusing historical buildings in Egypt.

Cigarette Factory Gunung Kedu and Cigarette Factory Gunung Kelapa are kretek industries owned by the Atmowidjojo family. This family has a big role in the economic progress of the Kudus Kulon community. This role can be seen in the large number of jobs provided for the surrounding community. Physical relics that are still intact to date are; Atmowidjojo’s house, Nadirun’s house, office, and Gunung Kedu factory. Buildings that have historical value are important elements in the development of the city area, as the identity and image of the city. However, at this time the awareness of the public and the government regarding the preservation of buildings is quite lacking. The phenomenon that occurs in the Kudus Kulon area at this time is that many historical buildings belonging to the community are sold and torn down. Sales and demolition of buildings due to the high cost of maintaining historic buildings. Based on this importance, it is necessary to apply the concept of adaptive reuse as a sustainable step in preserving buildings that have historical value in Kudus. The purpose of this research is to study the steps for the sustainability of the application of conservation in buildings that have a history, with building conditions that are still suitable for use. The method in this research uses descriptive qualitative using a case study approach.
