Architecture Services
Our firm is fully committed to meeting the specific design, aesthetics and structural requirements of every project, regardless of its size, scope or function. Through collaboration between architect, client and builder, we uncover critical project requirements and constraints early in the project lifecycle, which allows us to fully explore design alternatives and to produce the best design solutions for our clients.
Our role as architects is to articulate our client’s vision into actionable project plans, which may include feasibility studies, master planning, or preliminary site assessments. Through the iterative process of architectural design—creating preliminary sketches, 2D drawings, renderings or 3D models—we then translate the client’s vision into a meaningful visual representation.
Historic Preservation
Our design goal in historic preservation’s is to preserve the aesthetics and timelessness of the past within the context, comfort and technology of the contemporary.
Our services lead with exhaustive research on the relevant historic period, its architectural antecedents. Our architects use this research to augment decades of experience in renovations to create historic designs that integrate seamlessly within modern urban spaces. With every preservation project, the challenge ultimately becomes how well the firm can incorporate new construction imperceptibly, while retaining historic structures that are both functional and visually impressive.
