Initial Evaluation

When I examine the property I start with the foundation and the orientation of building to environment. If a building is still standing after a century or more there is a reason. Often it is because the foundation and structure were well thought through and executed. Anything above can be replaced, or remodeled. Even this fire ravaged Grange Hall was fully restored with our design assistance to historic and energy requirements.

Consulting with Clients

I ask clients: What do you want to achieve? What are your biggest concerns? How long do you want the building to last? Sustainability? I also look at the aesthetic consequences of the project. A local 17th to 20th century building is a community treasure whose architecture should be preserved while updating energy performance.

I having worked on National landmark projects so can provide details that will pass historic scrutiny as well as storm and energy codes.
