How the Team Engages

Residential & Commercial

Max leads all development architecture, City of Yes feasibility, and building compliance work directly — from initial analysis through DOB filing.

Government & Institutional

Max handles technical delivery and BIM coordination; Peter provides senior advisory for justice-specific programming, planning, and stakeholder engagement.

Structured Handoff

Feasibility outputs carry directly into documentation scope, so teams move from analysis to execution without losing context or rebuilding assumptions.
