“BELL Architects, PC is one of the best historic architects I have ever worked with. They fully understand the requirements and standards for historic buildings. They were able to propose clever solutions to the challenged presented by the historic building, both in their original design and as unanticipated conditions arose during construction. The District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office and other regulators concurred with their designs and solutions with few, if any, requests for changes. The firm displayed a very high level of expertise and required little oversight. The Visiting Flag Officers Quarters has become a showcase for historic rehabilitation projects at the Washington Navy Yard. I highly recommend BELL Architects PC for future contracts.”
