RESTORATION
We are accomplished restoration architects for projects that have landmark status. We collaborate with our clients to create proposals and provide analysis to re-purpose underutilized structures and sites to realize their highest and best potential. We prepare our own code compliance and zoning regulations reports. We work with Clients, Contractors and Developers to maximize construction investments by value engineering existing proposals while also possessing the experience to produce Design/Build turnkey projects.
OUR CLIENTS
As in the case of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, The Design Alliance has been fortunate to provide years of ongoing professional services for many of our clients. Since 2002, TDA has been continually commissioned for our services in Healthcare Design and construction projects with the New York Methodist Hospital. We also have a long-standing working relationship with the North Shore LIJ Health System with recent examples of completed work for the design and construction of the new Robotics Diagnostic Hematology Laboratory and Progressive Care Units for the Schneider Children’s Hospital.
