Full-Service Architectural and Urban Design Firm
We guide clients through every stage of the design and build process, from initial concept through city building code approvals, cost estimating, and construction observation. Our comprehensive approach ensures projects run efficiently and successfully by addressing environmental challenges, minimizing errors, and maintaining rigorous quality control at every stage of construction.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION/ADAPTIVE REUSE OF LANDMARK BUILDINGS
We are committed to preserving the values of heritage buildings while thoughtfully adapting them for contemporary use and future generations. We advocate for the restoration of structures using seasoned building materials, many of which are no longer readily available. Adaptive reuse is inherently sustainable—it reduces waste, preserves cultural memory, and honors the idea that architecture is both history and remembrance.
Carbon Positive/Net Zero/Passive House
We provide design standards that create healthy, comfortable, and efficient homes through a holistic approach that reduces or eliminates carbon emissions from both construction and building operation. Our designs respond to local climate conditions to ensure thermal comfort while leveraging environmental resources. By applying passive design strategies, we improve indoor air quality, integrate on-site renewable energy, optimize appliance and lighting efficiency, and address embedded carbon.
As a CPHT-certified Passive House Tradesperson, we bring the framework and interdisciplinary expertise necessary to implement and communicate the International Passive House (PH) Standard effectively across all stages of design and construction.
Concept Packages
We help define your project’s full scope and materials to enable accurate cost estimates, presented in a clear, cohesive package. Services include site evaluation, regulatory review, conceptual design, preliminary engineering, financial feasibility, contractor guidance, and project analysis to support informed decisions.
Beautification
We are passionate about enhancing the visual and functional quality of urban areas, cities, and towns. Our progressive, socially responsive designs balance safety, serviceability, durability, and aesthetics to create healthy, vibrant, and enjoyable environments for the communities they serve.
Interiors and FF&E
We provide assistance with the selection and procurement of fixtures, equipment, finishes, and furniture to ensure a cohesive and well-executed interior space.
Building and Energy Code Analysis
We provide a comprehensive analysis of your entire project, evaluating the building envelope, HVAC, service water heating, lighting, and electrical power systems, tailored to the specific scope of your work.
Clean Energy Replacement
We assist building owners in meeting Operational Energy standards throughout a building’s lifetime to support climate goals. In response to NYC’s Introduction 470-A, which accelerates the phase-out of fossil fuels by 2027, we help minimize operational energy through strategies such as converting oil furnaces to high-performance systems and integrating renewable energy resources
