Joanne Tall, R.A.

With nearly 30 years of experience, Joanne Tall worked on a wide breadth of architectural and design projects ranging from furniture and woodwork design to new construction and adaptive reuse projects. Ms. Tall led the firm’s design projects and historic preservation efforts and was recognized for her project dedication and creative implementation of her attention to detail.

Ms. Tall’s care and attention in working with historic structures had won her several preservation awards for her projects in the greater New York City area including the façade restoration of Keramos Hall in 2013 in Brooklyn and the full restoration of the Philipse Manor Train Station in Sleepy Hollow, New York.
