Historic Preservation

 

"In a sense, all of our work is preservation in that on every project, we endeavor to sustain existing buildings and structures—old or new—and enhance their continued serviceability."

— Deborah Slaton, Principal

Working within established preservation guidelines and standards, our architectural, structural, and conservation professionals balance the need to provide practical, long-term solutions with the ability to sensitively conserve a structure’s historic fabric. From planning and investigation through implementation, no firm is better qualified to respond to the technical and aesthetic needs of significant historic structures.

Historic buildings and structures are a tangible link to our past. From private owners to large institutions and government agencies, clients worldwide trust us to preserve their historic properties for generations to enjoy.
