remodelling

Updating a space

Remodelling is the act of altering or renovating something, especially a building or room: They're remodelling the kitchen.

The word also applies to reshaping or restructuring more abstractly: The company is remodelling its management structure.

This British spelling doubles the L; American English prefers remodeling.
