We’re pleased to announce that seven members of our team have recently been promoted—a direct reflection of their professional stature and invaluable contributions to our success. Each of these individuals is held in high regard by their coworkers, by their colleagues in the profession, and by the firm’s prestigious clients. With this elevated leadership, we look forward to achieving even more great things together going forward.

Congratulations to SUPERSTRUCTURES’ Lorie Riddle, RA who has been promoted to Associate Principal. This promotion is a direct reflection of Lorie’s professional stature and invaluable contributions to our success. She’s held in high regard by her coworkers, by her colleagues in the profession, and by the firm’s prestigious clients.

SUPERSTRUCTURES is proud to have worked on a number of projects related to the history and culture of African Americans in New York. Among them is the Rod Rodgers Dance Company, which shares space in a historic building with the Duo Theatre. SUPERSTRUCTURES provided investigation, design, and construction administration services to restore the 1890 structure by architect Max Schroff, earning a Lucy G. Moses Preservation Project Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

Congratulations to SUPERSTRUCTURES’ Michael Stripunsky, RA who has been promoted to Associate Principal. This promotion is a direct reflection of Michael’s professional stature and invaluable contributions to our success. He’s held in high regard by his coworkers, by his colleagues in the profession, and by the firm’s prestigious clients.

Congratulations to SUPERSTRUCTURES’ Sabine van Riel, RA who has been promoted to Senior Associate. This promotion is a direct reflection of Sabine’s professional stature and invaluable contributions to our success. She’s held in high regard by her coworkers, by her colleagues in the profession, and by the firm’s prestigious clients.

With thousands of SUPERSTRUCTURES’ projects across the five boroughs, you don’t have to travel far to find a building we’ve worked on. But a walking tour of our new neighborhood—the Financial District—offers a particularly rich cross section of structures we’ve helped restore, from historic churches to midcentury skyscrapers.

On this day in 1802, Richard Upjohn, designer of several notable Gothic Revival churches throughout the U.S., was born in Shaftesbury, England. SUPERSTRUCTURES conducted a restoration of the roofs of Upjohn’s New York masterpiece, Trinity Church, and the firm’s new office is just steps away from this National Historic Landmark.

There’s an inherent irony to SUPERSTRUCTURES’ work: a successful facade examination, restoration, and commissioning project often means you’d never know we were there in the first place. So we weren’t surprised that Masonry Design’s recent article on the restoration of 280 Broadway (aka The Sun Building) didn’t mention our role in the comprehensive restoration of the building. We’ll take that invisibility as a sign of another successful project.

We’re excited to announce that, as of December 14th, we’ll be up and running in our new offices at 14 Wall Street. While our physical surroundings are changing, our team’s phone numbers, emails, and website are staying the same. Our new home is in the former Bankers Trust Company Building. With this change of address, we’ll maintain some of the best qualities of our current location: proximity to a transportation hub to get to our various project sites around the city, an inspiring space with abundant light and high ceilings, and the architectural environs of a landmarked building.

Every roof has a utilitarian role to play. They serve as a building’s first line of defense against the elements, shielding the rest of the structure from water infiltration. But some roofs are more architecturally significant than others. Take, for example, that of City College’s Spitzer School of Architecture, site of a recent SUPERSTRUCTURES project.
