Historic 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.

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.

Technical Assessment

We have performed inspections for over 100 Façade Inspection & Safety Program requirements, and provide recommendation reports as well as city and government filing services.

Historic Preservation

Our expertise is the preservation and restoration of historic buildings, approaching each building with a comprehensive understanding of traditional building materials and construction methods as well as new high-performance technologies. Our practice directs this proficiency toward preserving the original character and architectural significance of historic structures, while ensuring that they remain active contributors in our modern urban fabric. We work closely with skilled tradespeople and artisans to provide our clients with the highest quality restorative work.

Sustainable Design

Sustainable architectural design seeks to maximize a building’s functional performance while reducing the negative environmental effect of greenhouse gas emissions. As preservation architects, we believe that it is imperative to educate the public that the reuse of historic buildings is inherently sustainable and that they can perform as well or better than newly constructed buildings with innovative design solutions. Through the continued or adaptive reuse of existing building stock, preservation architecture can be a powerful tool for sustainable stewardship.
