ADDITIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS

We do not believe new buildings in historic districts should merely fit-in by mimicry, we believe instead that they should contribute to the visual complexity of the urban environment, a factor that has been widely recognized to greatly increase the sense of well-being.

The studio’s work in Landmarked Districts, has defined our own brand of contextualism, we have a proven record in transforming existing structures and designing new buildings in historic and post-industrial districts, weaving the issues inherent to integrating historic and new fabric and the complexity of urban systems.

Our successful projects demonstrate that we can obtain Landmarks unanimous approvals , often during the course of one Public Hearing, for challenging restorations, significant interventions and new construction in historic districts.

Since the success of these projects often relies on public consensus and review, we partner with LPC to negotiate solutions that elevate and are integral the context, but also add value to your project.
