AltusWorks
AltusWorks is a technically oriented architectural design firm specializing in adaptations, expansions and restorations of existing and historic buildings.
We're thrilled to see the Barack Obama Presidential Center open its doors and begin serving as a place for community, learning, leadership, and engagement.
AltusWorks is proud to have supported the development of the campus by providing building enclosure commissioning services for both the Presidential Center and the Home Court athletic facility. Contributing to projects that create lasting impact in our communities, like the Obama Foundation does, is especially meaningful to us.
We are grateful to have been part of this once in a lifetime effort and look forward to seeing the Center's impact for years to come.

This , we’re excited to see construction underway at Corcoran Place Apartments in partnership with the Preservation of Affordable Housing (POAH). AltusWorks performed the initial assessment in 2019 establishing the project scope, and in 2023 developed concept plans and assisted in the successful pursuit of HUD Green and Resilient Retrofit Program (GRRP) funding.
As the funding was secured, AltusWorks was engaged as the Architect for the rehabilitation of the two senior residential buildings comprising 94 units. The final design integrates thoughtful preservation, accessibility upgrades, and sustainable improvements that will serve residents for years to come.
The project includes electrification of both buildings, rooftop solar panel installation, new windows and roofing, masonry restoration, EIFS repairs, upgraded electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, as well as refreshed interiors with new finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, and appliances. Common spaces are also being reconfigured to better support resident and property management needs.
As preservation professionals, we believe existing buildings are valuable community assets. Projects like Corcoran Place demonstrate how rehabilitation can effectively extend the life of affordable housing while capitalizing on the embedded carbon and improving comfort, efficiency, accessibility, and long-term resiliency for the people who call these buildings home.
