architectural

Our approach to architecture blends creativity and context. We carefully consider our clients’ requirements, preferences and budgets as we develop designs for new buildings and renovations.

The scope of work varies from project to project. Our activities include

feasibility studies,
site selection,
assessments,
planning,
project management,
schematic design,
design development,
construction documents,
as built-plans

Our range of projects span from the small scale studio renovation to the full scale new building development with site planning. As new yorkers, we have perfected these scopes:

building additions and extensions
landmarks projects,
budgeting

One variable remains constant: involvement throughout the project lifecycle. We pride ourselves in providing for your certificate of project completion, or your certificate of occupancy.

interior design and decorating

Every interior design project we undertake is carefully tailored to the requirements and preferences of our clients. Aesthetics are flexible and budgets vary widely, because each industry we serve has different practical needs. We program to specifics: A creative client is asking for an open studio that facilitates teamwork and innovation; a legal client is looking for an interior that allows for quiet privacy; a hedge fund is expanding its trading floor but wants to remain in the space during construction.

Taking a holistic approach, we view aesthetics and requirements through the lens of budget and schedule in our early meetings with clients. Because we plan systematically in the beginning, contractor fees are usually close to our projections and we can more easily convert ideas into action.
