Nate Lindsey, RA, NCARB, 36 CFR Part 61 Historical Architect
Senior Project Architect
Born in Michigan and raised on the east coast, Nate Lindsey studied architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and studied for a semester abroad in Italy. After relocating to New York City, Nate worked in a small firm on a wide variety of project types including multi-family residential buildings, adaptive re-use of industrial buildings, historic restoration, and retail and community facility build-outs.
Nate has recently completed the adaptive reuse and historic preservation work for the conversion of a former 11-story bank building in downtown Flint into a 101-key hotel with a destination restaurant located in the banking hall. The project required resolving oppositional constraints of the Hotel Brand requirements, the preservation of historic features of the building, a tight budget for the work and the physical constraints of a very tight floor plate. Nate worked very closely with engineers and contractors to overcome significant complications from two different existing structural systems in the project. Inferior materials and assemblies uncovered during demolition work also had to be addressed quickly as work progressed.
Past work on the Masonic Temple and Henry Ford Museum Executive Office involved bringing exquisitely detailed historic spaces up to modern standards with regards to telecommunications and/or MEP systems while maintaining the historic fabric and working with the interior design team to refresh the spaces.
