Sands Creek Preservation Design

At Sands Creek, we are deeply committed to the stewardship of existing structures, recognizing the historical, cultural, and architectural significance they hold. Our Preservation Design services focus on the sensitive rehabilitation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings and sites across our service areas, from the landmark architecture of New York and Washington D.C. to the unique heritage found in cities like Chicago and beyond.

Our Preservation Design expertise includes:

• Historical Research & Analysis: We begin by thoroughly researching the history of the building or site, understanding its original design, construction, and evolution over time.
• Condition Assessment: We conduct detailed assessments of the existing conditions, identifying areas of deterioration, structural issues, and non-historic alterations.
• Development of Preservation Plans: Based on our research and assessment, we develop comprehensive preservation plans that guide the rehabilitation or restoration process, respecting the building's historic integrity.
• Materials Conservation: We specify appropriate materials and techniques for the repair and replacement of historic fabric, ensuring compatibility and long-term preservation.
• Adaptive Reuse Strategies: We develop creative solutions for adapting historic buildings for new uses while retaining their significant features and character.
• Compliance with Regulations: We navigate the complex regulations and guidelines associated with historic preservation at the local, state, and federal levels.
