With over thirty five years experience managing projects throughout the Hudson Valley, Mr. Tinkelman has refined his image of an effective small-sized architectural firm.

This operating structure encompasses a highly interactive studio environment with each staff position being selected for a specific technical area of expertise. With this arrangement, the firm can efficiently compete in the market place in it’s ability to provide a wide range of high quality professional services on both small and large scale projects. Mr. Tinkelman’s contribution to numerous historical rehabilitations, including many in the historic districts in the cities of Poughkeepsie and Newburgh, led to a “Certificate of Merit” from the Unites States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Such rehabilitation projects have ranged from residential apartments and professional offices to mixed-use commercial developments in existing historic structures. Mr. Tinkelman also has extensive knowledge of real estate finance, development and management and is a principal in several successful real estate partnerships. His experience with these development projects assist in the firm’s ability to better understand and respond to clients’ needs and concerns in realizing their goals when developing and constructing new structures/ projects.
