When working on an existing build, we work to ensure that any historic details or materials are highlighted and appreciated. This helps add longevity to the project by both restoring its quality and helping others to see why it is important to take care of history rather than build over it. If we are working on a new project, we combine modern styles with local materials and culture allowing the build to fit with its surroundings. There is a push for brand new, but there is just as much a need to be sensitive to what allowed this beautiful city to be what it is. Commercial projects allow our firm to give Manhattan more economic and experiential activities. Historic renovation provides us an opportunity to give an old story new pages.
