Civil Engineering

Historical Preservation

With a rich legacy dating back to 1919, our firm is deeply committed to preserving the distinctive character of heritage buildings. Armed with a profound grasp of historical renovation standards, we embark on a comprehensive journey. Our dedicated team promptly evaluates existing structures, ensuring code compliance and maximizing repurposing possibilities.

Interior Design

Our team of interior designers is second to none in creating beautiful, comfortable, and efficient environments for our clients. In our integrated approach, interiors professionals work in tandem with the architectural team, collaborating in space planning, color and finish material selection, and furnishing selection. TESSERE designers always stay one step ahead of emerging trends in creative use of color, texture, and material to best represent your project needs.

Landscape Architecture

Our landscape architects are responsible for the overall design of project sites. They establish drainage and grading, integrate indoor architectural design with outdoor landscaping, and create open-air spaces through plantings, paving patterns, walkways, and trails. Keeping with TESSERE's tradition of sustainable design, these team members focus on decreased water use paired with increased use of natural materials and implementation of conservation features such as rain gardens, recycled-water irrigation, and drought-resistant and native plantings.

Master Planning

Our experience has taught us that if we spend the time to gather all available information and listen to our clients’ needs, the stage will be set for project success. Through our master planning process, we enable the architect and client to develop a comprehensive strategy for the future development of the client’s land, building complex, and other facilities. We work to eliminate the unexpected at the onset of projects and to provide a design that supports the permitting and construction process, keeping clients informed throughout the process.

Sustainability

Well before the surge in popularity of sustainable projects, TESSERE was already at the forefront of designing energy-saving facilities. Today, the commitment to effective and efficient solutions has propelled TESSERE to attain the status of a LEED Proven Provider. With a track record of over 30 projects designed and certified to LEED standards, including platinum, gold, and silver ratings, TESSERE stands as a beacon of excellence in sustainable design. Beyond formal certification, numerous projects have seamlessly integrated sustainable and energy-conscious design principles, showcasing TESSERE’s dedication to environmental responsibility.
