We Love Old Buildings!
Farr Associates has over 30 years of experience working with existing buildings, including historic structures. Our team is well versed in the technical aspects of working with existing facades, whether they are historic or merely old, from moisture management to thermal performance, and from repairs to wholesale replacement.
As architects, we are comfortable with the unknown conditions that arise in any renovation project and turning perceived roadblocks into opportunities. We are well versed in managing large teams, complicated schedules, and tracking budgets to give the best value to the owner.
