We value Altieri's strong cross-disciplinary competence that allows their engineers to cover multiple perspectives when needed. There is a nimbleness to their design thinking and an ability to foresee long-range implications and consequences of design directions that have been invaluable to us in addressing very complex design problems and implementing better energy strategies.
The Altieri team actively partnered with us to develop a holistic design that incorporated passive strategies and integrated systems - environmentally responsible strategies that went beyond the standard system approaches. We greatly value Altieri's exceptional sensitivity to aesthetics as well as performance and sustainability.
