Our Services

We work with our clients to determine programmatic needs to establish a basis of design and develop schematic design alternatives. Our work in this realm supports our clients’ abilities to (re)evaluated actual needs, capital and operational costs, phasing, and financing.

Landmarks SGA’s team of architects and supporting professions provides the comprehensive ability to advance our new building designs from schematic design through construction documentation, construction administration, and building delivery and commissioning. Our professional team includes specializations within architectural design, as well as landscape architecture, civil, and structural engineering.

A major focus of our firm is the practice of giving buildings and places, built with a former purpose, new uses and meaning. We approach each project with a set of principles that strives to achieve a highly functional, modern building, while speaking to the assets and values of the previous use and how they informed previous design realizations. This notion of layering fabric and time can create a greater appreciation of architecture’s cultural value over time while supporting today’s lifestyles.

Our firm’s unique multi-disciplinary team can fully assess buildings and structures of all ages, construction types, and scales. Our comprehensive assessments can serve as a basis to determine the ability to save threatened structures, form the basis for adaptive design, establish conservation and management procedures, and form deferred maintenance capital improvement plans.

Landmarks SGA was founded with an emphasis on expanding cultural appreciation for buildings, structures, and places of the past, while providing societal value and meaning for today and the future. The firm’s staff has international training and experience in the conservation and preservation of culturally and historically significant sites and have led award winning restoration and rehabilitation projects. The firm specializes in research, establishing period of significance, historic structure reports, landmark nomination reports, historic tax credits, and historic resource preservation management plans.

The ability to fully realize design visions relies on the skills to work with contractors and trades. This is true both for ground-up construction and rehabilitation or restoring historic building fabric. Working in collaboration with construction trades, including in the capacity of design-build, allows us to achieve extremely high-quality and award winning projects that express a continuity of design from conceptualization to realization to full utilization.

Landmarks SGA considers the repercussions climate change incurs on ecology in every engagement and project. The team strives to produce design that is conscious of environmental conditions and is considerate of implications that better enhance the longevity of the building. As designers, we are always finding new ways to evolve and better our design. Landmarks SGA values the integrity of environmentally conscious design, curated to withstand the needs of future generations.
