Architecture
Our architectural pursuits are rooted in a rigorous exploration of both pragmatic construction and design issues that guides us in leading projects that demand both creativity and practicality. From the initial concept through construction, we seek to guide projects with a strategic eye, skillfully navigating the technical, financial, and external challenges that arise throughout the process.
A Foundation in Building Typologies and Technical Expertise
At FitzGerald, architecture is rooted in a deep understanding of the structural and technical complexities that underpin building design. Our experience spans a wide array of construction typologies, from high-rise multifamily developments and adaptive reuse of historic buildings to mixed-use developments, commercial offices, and retail centers.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges
One of the core strengths of our architecture practice is our ability to navigate the complex regulatory landscape that governs development. FitzGerald’s architects are well-versed in researching local and national building codes, zoning laws, and entitlement processes, which often dictate the feasibility of a project before it even breaks ground.
Strategic Design for Long-Term Viability
At FitzGerald, we approach architecture with a long-term perspective, designing buildings that stand the test of time in both their physical resilience and operational efficiency. Our work prioritizes resilience and durability, with careful attention to material selection, system integrity, and future adaptability.
Buildings must meet today’s needs and remain relevant in the decades to come
Integrated Building Systems for Optimal Performance
We excel in the integration of building systems into an overall design, ensuring that the architecture harmonizes with critical components like HVAC, electrical, and structural frameworks. This process is informed by our deep understanding of building science, particularly in how the building envelope performs in relation to energy efficiency and environmental control.
Expertise in Adaptive Reuse and Complex Renovations
One of the most distinctive aspects of our architecture practice is our expertise in adaptive reuse and complex renovations. Transforming outdated or underutilized buildings into modern, functional spaces requires a deep understanding of both historic structures and contemporary building standards.
