PRESERVATION / RESTORATION ARCHITECTS

Pfeiffer is regarded as a leading firm in the area of historic preservation, renovation and adaptive re-use. Our approach to these projects ranges from careful restoration to "interpretive rehabilitation", evoking the memories and character associated with older structures instead of a literal reconstruction. Pfeiffer has become versed in the special challenges involved in the conversion of existing buildings for new uses. Our daily involvement with projects of this nature allows us to provide clients with current information regarding economics of construction, interpretation of building codes, and logical sequencing of complex construction situations.

Mills Group, LLC maintains a commitment to the cultural heritage of our region. We strive to raise awareness of the significant history and culture that is the foundation of who we are and ultimately, will become. Our team performs historical research as well as assessing and documenting existing conditions. We compile our findings into a comprehensive narrative, a feasibility study and/or historic structures report for the owner to implement planning for the next phase of use for the building. The Mills Group has also used these findings to produce plans for historic site interpretation. We strive to achieve a balance of the overall "Preservation Objectives" with those of the client's needs for the building's use. The rehabilitation dogma that our firm uses is aimed at maintaining the building's original qualities. These qualities convey the historic character while incorporating provisions for life safety and accessibility requirements, indoor air quality and energy conservation requirements, as well as all of the real-life demands on the building program. Sensitive and responsible preservation and restoration work must be responsive to the historic significance of the building. Each building provides a unique set of requirements and conditions therefore, each solution is unique.
