About SUPERSTRUCTURES

We are a prolific, award-winning E/A firm dedicated to the preservation and renewal of NYC’s buildings and infrastructure.

We work on significant and challenging projects, including courthouses, schools, universities, churches, housing, and hospitals, and many of New York's most storied landmarks for the region’s premier public, corporate, and residential clients.

Our focus is the building "skin and skeleton", embracing all components of the building envelope and underlying structure—facades, roofs, windows, and plazas—and the full complement of materials, from historic terra-cotta to high-performance curtain walls.

We consistently produce construction documents that have been called the “Gold Standard” by our clients.

We’re innovators, continually leveraging the latest tools and technology to drive restoration practice into the 21st century.
