Our Founder and President, Richard J. Heisenbottle, recently spoke with the Miami Herald to discuss one of the firm’s most significant current projects, the restoration of the Coral Gables City Hall.
 
“The City Hall building will be fully restored to its original splendor inside and out. The renovation will not only fully repair and replenish the building and replace its mechanical, electrical and fire-safety systems, Heisenbottle said, but also reverse some questionable alterations from more recent decades, like dropped ceilings and carpeting in offices that obscured original architectural proportions, materials and details.”
 
Thank you to Andres Viglucci and the Miami Herald for highlighting this important milestone in the preservation of one of Coral Gables’ most treasured landmarks.
