Historic Preservation
|
Soleil West has worked on numerous historic projects within the last 10 years. The firm has worked in conjunction with the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division to successfully execute historical projects. All of the firm’s previous historical projects required identifying, field measuring, documenting, evaluating the key historic attributes of the project and insuring their integration into the new design. Soleil West takes pride in its ability to maintain the historic aesthetic and overall integrity of a building, while at the same time, retrofitting the necessary modern ammenities required by the client. |
