Preserving our region’s historical treasures
Preservation
We believe that preservation projects play a vital role in retaining the cultural identity of local communities. Our experience includes numerous projects that have sought and received State Historic Preservation Office certification.
 
Specialized Knowledge
Preservation design requires increased sensitivity to historical styles and details, the larger cultural context of the project, and the specialized knowledge of materials and methods that are appropriate for each preservation task. architecture+ has developed this knowledge over many years, not only in working as designers, but also through working in the field.
 
Participants in Preservation
In addition, architecture+ Principal Emeritus Vincent Lepera is a founding member of one of American’s oldest urban architectural advocacy and planning organizations and has developed specialized expertise in masonry construction and restoration.
