Introduction

Superstructures is a firm of architects, structural engineers, and conservators dedicated to the art and science of exterior restoration.

Since our founding in 1981, we have successfully completed thousands of projects, both large and small, for the region's leading owners, institutions, and public agencies.

Our work embraces all components of the building envelope—facades, roofs, windows, and plazas, and the full complement of materials—from landmark terracotta to high-performance curtain wall systems. We understand the mechanisms that cause these components to deteriorate, and we design intelligent, cost-effective solutions that ensure their long term durability and safety.

We have methodically assembled a team encompassing an array of professional disciplines. We offer the technical expertise of structural engineers, the aesthetic sensibilities of architects, the historical sensitivity of conservators, the financial acumen of cost estimators, and the practicality of construction managers.

In every phase of the process, our clients benefit from service that is unrivaled. Our construction documents are unsurpassed in their clarity, and our construction administration procedures provide unprecedented control over contractor progress and project quality. Our proprietary, state-of-the-art technology enables us to offer this level of service, yet still maintain a competitive fee structure.

We take pride in the excellence of our staff, the caliber of our clients, the diversity of our project portfolio, and our firm-wide enthusiasm for the work we do.
