Topsfield Town Hall - Comprehensive Renovation, Restoration and Addition
Architecture & Historic Preservation
McGinley Kalsow & Associates has a distinctive career of successfully restoring and renovating historic buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, National Landmarks or are within Historic Districts. Our experience has grown from our background in skillfully renovating historic buildings and adaptively reusing existing buildings for contemporary uses. We have in-house experts in the fields of materials, finishes, building systems, period construction and design to ensure accurate and excellence in restoration, renovations and additions. Our design and feasibility studies are used as the basis for building stabilization and repair, funding, programming, long-term planning, renovation and adaptive use.
Preservation Planning
MKA provides preservation architecture and preservation planning to public and private clients involved in projects that include historic buildings and sites. We work in collaboration with clients to evaluate and design projects that relate to and comply with historic preservation requirements at the local, state and federal levels. Our involvement in the early stages of design adds creativity to the architectural design process by ensuring that design objectives reflect the character defining elements of the building or structure and the historic context and surrounding areas. MKA helps projects achieve cost savings by carefully inspecting and assessing existing building elements and incorporating sustainable design.
