We fix buildings. 

Howard L. Zimmerman Architects (HLZA) is a full service Architecture and Engineering firm specializing in the repair and maintenance of existing buildings, including their mechanical, electrical, and structural systems. 

Applying lessons learned from 30+ years in business, we also advise owners and fellow architects to ensure new buildings are built to last. 

For nearly 40 years, HLZA has developed an excellent reputation as the go-to architecture firm for residential, commercial, and institutional properties in the New York region. We take the view that well-maintained architecture and up-to-date mechanical systems are essential to both the financial health and sustainability of every property. 

PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
Howard L. Zimmerman, a native New Yorker who founded the firm in the mid 1970s, one of the City’s most challenging economic times, prizes the value of taking a practical approach to every project. HLZA offers the expertise, experience, and practical sense to advise owners on the best course of action for a given property, working within budgetary parameters and feasibility.
