LANDMARK
Over the last 30 years, Jeff and his predecessor firms have been involved in restoring or renovating some of the most iconic parks and structures in the United Sates – from the Torch on the Statue of Liberty, the renovation of Central Park in New York, the Duke Mansion in New York City, and historic churches in Boston, New York, Long Island, and North Carolina. Seamlessly melding modern construction techniques and old world design and craftsmanship, Jeff and his teams have been able to stabilize deteriorating structures, repair timeless wood and stone carvings, and blend in new spaces, modern electrical and acoustic systems in a way that respects the art and history of these places while ensuring their durability and usability for future generations.
