From historic
to high-performance.
Heitzman Architects is the premier architectural group that specializes in upgrading and enhancing historic properties with modern, high-efficient solutions.
When we look at someone’s building,
we don’t see
4 walls and
old-fashioned construction.
We see a human story told through its architecture, and the homeowner’s desire to preserve it, so they can add their chapter to its story.
