We tell the story of projects across every scale and discipline in the built environment, from preservation to development strategy:

• Facade restoration and exterior envelope rehabilitation

• Adaptive reuse and historic building conversions

• Landmark preservation and local façade ordinance compliance

• Ground-up architecture and schematic design development

• Multifamily residential, mixed-use, and commercial projects

• Institutional buildings including schools, libraries, and museums

• High-rise construction and urban infill projects

• Interior fit-outs, tenant improvements, and workplace strategy

• Infrastructure and utility-related construction

• Site development, grading, and accessibility planning

• Modular construction, prefabrication, and component systems

• Construction logistics, site staging, and sequencing strategy

• Post-occupancy evaluations and building performance diagnostics

• Building repositioning, capital upgrades, and value engineering

• Envelope and energy audits for compliance or retrofits

We give voice to the technical logic behind coordinated systems, helping clients and audiences understand how buildings perform:

• Curtain wall, window wall, unitized systems, and storefront glazing

• Roofing assemblies including low-slope, steep-slope, and green roofs

• Waterproofing systems for plaza decks, basements, and podiums

• Flashing and drainage detailing at penetrations and transitions

• Continuous air barrier and vapor barrier assemblies

• Wall systems including cavity wall, rainscreen, EIFS, and stucco

• Slab edge, thermal break, and perimeter insulation detailing

• Envelope testing, mockups, and constructability review narratives

• MEP integration, shaft coordination, and system zoning

• Mechanical system strategies including VRF, split systems, and heat pumps

• Electrical and IT infrastructure coordination and metering

• Plumbing system design, drainage, venting, and fixture selection

• Passive house detailing, infiltration control, and thermal continuity

• Solar readiness, energy recovery ventilation, and envelope-integrated PV

We translate materials knowledge and construction methodology into compelling, accurate language that honors both design and craft:

• Brick, terra cotta, limestone, granite, sandstone, and cast stone

• Precast concrete, GFRC, UHPC, and site-poured concrete

• Steel structure, bolted connections, anchors, and reinforcement

• Load-bearing and veneer masonry techniques

• Cladding materials: metal panels, fiber cement, phenolic, zinc, aluminum

• Insulation types: mineral wool, polyisocyanurate, rigid foam, spray foam

• Waterproofing membranes: fluid-applied, sheet, bentonite, hot-applied

• Roofing materials: modified bitumen, TPO, EPDM, PVC, copper, slate

• Air and vapor control layers: WRB systems, smart membranes, peel-and-stick

• Expansion joints, sealants, and compatible primer systems

• Glazing types: IGUs, low-e, bird-safe, triple glazing

• Fasteners, brackets, ties, and stainless steel anchorage systems

• Restoration materials: patching compounds, cleaning agents, consolidants

• Historic treatments: pinning, crack repair, dutchman repair, re-pointing

• Material transitions: below-grade to facade, roof-to-wall, parapet detailing

We support firms in communicating strategy, compliance, and design thinking—positioning technical leadership through clear storytelling:

• Local Law 97 compliance strategy and emissions intensity reporting

• Local Law 11 (FISP) inspection documentation and repair campaign positioning

• Benchmarking, decarbonization plans, and lifecycle carbon narratives

• LEED documentation, sustainability strategy, and energy modeling summaries

• Zoning analysis, contextual design statements, and permit narratives

• Accessibility and code compliance strategies (ADA, IBC, NYCBC)

• Award submissions: AIA, Urban Land Institute, Lucy G. Moses, etc.

• Project narratives for RFQs, RFPs, and developer proposals

• Case studies for completed work, public engagement, and investor relations

• Owner’s rep reports, CM narratives, and contractor design-build stories

• White papers, technical explainers, and regulatory breakdowns

• Editorial content for firm websites, journals, and press

• Internal training material and field-to-office communication guides

• Brand positioning through built work and legacy projects

• Executive thought leadership for principals, founders, and experts
