Bassetti is a leader in historic preservation and adaptive reuse. Our commitment to documenting and revitalizing landmark and historic structures is embedded broadly within our rm. We have served on several Landmark boards including King County, Seattle, and Pioneer Square. We are passionate about ensuring that historic buildings are restored appropriately and their lives extended to provide ongoing value. We offer unparalleled experience revitalizing historic schools, restoring the historic structure while meeting 21st century learning needs. Our experience includes: historic building assessment and documentation; strategizing with owners on design and planning for landmark facilities; exploring design options within an historic context; preservation techniques and materials; integrating code compliant structural, mechanical, and electrical systems into historic structures; integrating sustainable systems without disturbing historic fabric; and obtaining approval from Landmark Review agencies.
