One Firm, Three Studios
ARCHITECTURE & HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE We work as architect of record, design architect, preservation architect, and preservation consultant collaborating with specialty disciplines to re-envision existing and historic buildings, integrate modern systems, and design contemporary interventions.
CULTURAL RESOURCE PLANNING Architectural historians and cultural resources planners evaluate historic resources including individual buildings, landscapes and entire communities, to assess their historic integrity. The studio is proficient in authoring a wide range of reports, developing and implementing mitigation measures, and completing National Register and California Register documentation.
PRESERVATION AND MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY Materials specialists conduct conditions surveys, materials analyses and testing, sequential dating, and other investigative processes to understand historic building methods and materials and to uncover the work of early craftspeople.
