Ivan Brice Architecture - Heritage Conservation Experts

Ivan Brice Architecture is a leading firm specializing in architectural and engineering services with a strong focus on heritage conservation and sustainable retrofitting. Based in the vibrant NYC area, our firm proudly serves the Connecticut and New England regions, bringing nearly three decades of experience to each project. Our commitment to excellence is evident in our project-specific solutions, where we harness proven technical expertise to conserve, retrofit, and enhance the performance of existing buildings.

We have built a reputation for quality that spans all phases of the construction process. From the initial preliminary investigation and scope definition to the meticulous development of plans and specifications, and culminating in the rigorous construction sign-off, we ensure that every detail is attended to. Our exemplary projects in Connecticut, such as the restoration of Norwalk's City Hall complex and the repurposing of the Historic Falls Village firehouse, showcase our dedication to preserving historical integrity while integrating modern functionality.

In New York City, our office is actively engaged in restoring various facilities for neighborhood libraries and the parks department's athletic facilities. This extensive portfolio reflects our innovative design approach, which seeks to improve upon original construction assemblies by identifying and remedying any shortcomings or deficiencies. We are passionate about providing resilient solutions that enhance thermal efficiency, ensure weathertightness, and uphold structural integrity. Through exterior improvements like green and insulated roofing systems, window replacements, solar installations, moisture barriers, and upgraded exterior cladding, we aim to significantly reduce energy consumption and the overall carbon footprint of your building.

Moreover, any project that involves reconfiguring interior spaces or changing usage requires careful interpretation of applicable building codes. Our firm embraces the latest technologies to facilitate generational change, ensuring that our designs promote universal accessibility, enhance fire safety, bolster building security, and support environmental health. By adhering to these critical goals and requirements, we augment the successful retrofit or repurposing of your building, ultimately leading to a more sustainable and user-friendly environment.
