Transforming communities through innovative design
HOUSING
We provide planning and design services for a wide array of market-rate housing, affordable housing, townhouses, campus residence halls, residential treatment facilities, supportive housing, senior housing, and custom private residences. We approach all of our housing projects with an ever-increasing knowledge base and sensitivity to the end-user that has been developed through decades of designing for such diverse populations.

Understanding Issues
Our focus on our clients’ needs and ability to work with them has been particularly beneficial in helping to overcome typical obstacles such as project funding, consensus building, and regulatory review and approval. We understand that issues such as budget, space utilization, adaptive reuse, historic significance, energy efficiency, handicapped accessibility, and public safety can be paramount to a successful project.
 
Regulatory Expertise
We have experience designing housing projects that receive funding from NYS HCR 9% and HFA 4%. Many of our renovation projects have also needed to comply with State and Federal governing standards for the renovation of historic buildings. Consequently, we have considerable experience working in cooperation with the State Historic Preservation Office.
 
Transformative Housing
We believe that well-designed housing has the power to stabilize and transform neighborhoods, impacting the social, cultural, and economic vibrancy of our communities.
"Most importantly, of course, is the fact that our students love the new Ashokan Hall. It is now the most heavily sought after residential hall on our campus."
