Structural Engineering
Structural engineering resolved alongside design, not corrected after the fact.
Our latest structural engineering projects across the sectors and scales that demand the most.
All Structural Engineering ProjectsDesign without asterisk
At OneFourTwo, structural engineering is more than sizing beams and columns — it's the integration of structural logic, architectural vision, and constructability into a single, coordinated process. Every project is shaped through collaboration from the outset, ensuring structural decisions support design intent while balancing performance, buildability, and long-term value. The result is structure without compromise: resolved, resilient, and built to endure.
Every successful project begins with a strategy, not a predetermined system. We take the time to understand the architectural vision, site conditions, and long-term loading before structural design begins. That foundation informs every decision, resulting in a structural system that is intentional, responsive, and aligned with both immediate needs and future flexibility.
Structural engineering doesn't happen in isolation here — it happens alongside architecture from day one. Our structural engineers and architects work from the same set of priorities, so the system supports the design instead of constraining it after the fact.
Structural decisions made early don't get revisited under pressure later. We resolve loading, spans, and connections against real construction methods and material availability while there's still time to adjust, protecting both the design and the schedule.
A structural system is only as good as its performance over decades, not just its performance on opening day. We engineer for the loads, code requirements, and long-term use the building will actually see, not just what's on the drawing.

The Future of New York City Commercial Buildings
The surge in office-to-residential conversions across New York City following the roll-out of City of Yes has fundamentally reshaped the conversation surrounding aging Class B and Class C commercial buildings.
The Case for Design-Build
The design-build process has fundamentally redefined the modern architectural practice. Historically, the architectural world operated on standard segregation: design first (Architect), bid second (Owner/Contractor), build third (General Contractor).
A practice that leads with people and partnership.
A proven collaborative culture, coordinated process, and design philosophy connecting project teams from the outset. Designers and Engineers contribute to a single vision, and that commitment holds through to the ribbon cutting.
Delivering design without asterisk.
In a world where promises often come with exceptions, limitations, and fine print, we believe great design should not. We approach every challenge with a commitment to delivering the best possible outcome, not the easiest one. No shortcuts. No hidden surprises. No asterisk.
