About 

Leonid Kravchenko RA, AIA

E-mail: LeoKravchenko@hotmail.com

I am a New York State registered architect with a diverse global portfolio encompassing commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects, including high-rise buildings as well as rural single and multi-family developments. 

With 38 years of experience in the industry, I have recently shifted my focus towards providing consulting services for single-family and small commercial projects. 

Over the past three years, I have specialized in developing detailed building designs for the Hudson Valley/Upstate NY area- working closely with structural engineers and other consultants to ensure precision and quality in every project. I am confident that my expertise as a senior, detail-oriented architect can bring valuable support to your team. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you. Please let me know if this opportunity aligns with your needs.
