Encore Sustainable Architects

Encore Sustainable Architects is ready to partner with you to find possibilities and make them real. Predesign services unearth the possibilities then our architectural, sustainability, and preservation services bring them to life. Our practical resources and advice keep them grounded and affordable.

Historic projects require intimate knowledge of regulations and a passion for the details of historic design. A successful preservation project starts with clear project goals and understanding if the project is a restoration, rehabilitation or adaptive use.

We help our clients understand and fulfill the many local, state and federal preservation requirements for approvals that drive potential funding and budgets, timelines, uses, and historic material treatments.Encore provides services at every phase of the project to ensure a timely, well documented, and successfully constructed project.

A successful architecture project involves working with our clients, contractors and consultants as a team. Project goals can include everything from aesthetic improvements to complete rehabilitation of an existing building or new construction. Our first step in the design process is deep listening to the client's needs and dreams to create the program.

Incorporating historic preservation and LEED Certification into the design process can be cumbersome when trying to coordinate multiple consultants. Fortunately, our staff contains architects, preservationists, and LEED APs who are able to navigate the process to get your project completed quickly and efficiently.

The entrance to our building is not on Light Street. Turn on Water Street, and across from The Happy Grape and Water Street Tavern, you will see our black canopied entry. There is limited, metered parking around our neighborhood, and many parking garages. The closest one is at 30 Light Street, directly across from our building and next to Pita More.
