Armonk, Banksville and North White Plains offer room to build. We design and engineer additions, renovations and new homes across North Castle.
North Castle is a town of about 24 square miles in Westchester County. Armonk, at its center, is the seat of town government and home to IBM's world headquarters. Banksville in the east borders Connecticut, and North White Plains lies to the south along the Bronx River. The Kensico Reservoir and the White Plains reservoirs are within the town.
Larger lots and newer homes make North Castle a place where homeowners build new or add on substantially. Those projects involve long spans, tall rooms and complex roofs, and our engineers design them in house alongside the architecture.
Licensed architects and professional engineers on one team, one contract and one set of signed and sealed drawings. See all of our services.
Rear, side and wraparound additions for kitchens, family rooms and primary suites, with the existing house evaluated by our engineers.
New floors over ranches, capes, garages and one story wings, with foundations and framing checked and reinforced as needed.
Whole house and partial renovations, wall removals and open plans, basements and attics, with structure and systems designed in house.
Ground up single family homes and teardown rebuilds, from site planning to sealed construction drawings.
Decks, covered porches, pergolas and garages engineered for footings, ledgers and loads.
Beam replacements, foundation fixes and engineer's letters for homeowners, buyers and insurers.
In New York, building permits are issued by the town, village or city building department under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, and zoning comes first. When a design needs relief from a setback, coverage or height limit, it goes to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and many villages and towns also require Architectural Review Board or Planning Board approval for exterior changes.
Properties near the reservoirs and their tributaries can face added review and limits on disturbance. We identify those constraints early and design the footprint around them.
Large sites bring questions about septic, wells, driveways and grading. We work through them at the start so the house is designed for the property.
However your project is approved, we deliver signed and sealed drawings to you, support you and your contractor through the permit submission and answer the building department's review comments in house. Read how a project moves from consultation to close out on our process page.

Not necessarily. We check the watershed and wetland constraints first and design within them.
