ABS Architects, LLC (Alt Breeding Schwarz Architects)

Alt Breeding Schwarz Architects, LLC was contracted to renovate an old, inefficient rental property in Annapolis, while maintaining its historical integrity. The business development analyst who hired them noted the property required significant updates, and needed to be made more energy-efficient and livable. Alt Breeding Schwarz Architects provided architecture services in phases, delivering a dossier detailing the project's phases and a multitude of architectural drawings. They offered a complete blueprint of materials, considering the challenge of finding the right wood for the project. The client worked with a senior architect and the principal of the company throughout the project.

The architectural firm was chosen for their experience with historic properties and their understanding of state and federal regulations. The client expressed initial hesitation due to the firm's focus on enterprise projects, but was reassured by the firm's excellent portfolio and credentials. The project cost was less than $10,000 and began in May of 2020. The client commended Alt Breeding Schwarz Architects for their excellent work, their management of the client's design choices, and their ability to ease the client's anxieties about the process.
