New Construction
Starting from the ground up always offers great opportunities to develop new spaces. KTA has been designing newly constructed buildings since the beginning. We are well versed in the use of all materials: steel, concrete, wood, masonry, light gauge, aluminum and pre-fabricated systems. Additionally we are willing to tackle new materials whenever we have the chance. This has lead to explorations with fabrics, resins, plastics and carbon fiber.
Renovations and Adaptive Re-Use
Living in New York means dealing with the existing building stock. Since the beginning, KTA has been assisting building owners renovate and modify their existing buildings. Whether it is a gut renovation, vertical addition, horizontal addition or a full modification to the existing building, KTA can bring their years of experience and expertise to the table.
