Technical
We have performed inspections for over 100 Façade Inspection & Safety Program requirements, and provide recommendation reports as well as city and government filing services.
Sustainable Design
From design through completion we integrate aesthetics, budget, and code considerations to revive old buildings and construct new ones that are both functional, beautiful, and sustainable.
Preservation
With experience on over 100 historic buildings in and around New York City, we use a practical approach to preservation and restoration with a sensitivity to each structure's past.
