Our design team prides itself on finding innovative, bold ideas to revitalize and improve unique historical properties through adaptive-use, building additions, restorations, and new construction projects that require sensitivity to the surrounding site context. Through our efforts to achieve an appropriate design, our projects will augment the existing built environment to create a distinguishable design that doesn’t detract from the historic appeal of the historic district or building. With specialized services that include the preliminary investigation of the historic structure during the early design stages, grant submissions, federal/state tax credit applications, coordinating with design review committees and staff, to finalizing the restoration/rehabilitation of the building – we will be the single point of contact in ensuring proper design, construction techniques, and compliance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and applicable Design Guidelines.
