Lincoln Center, although not designated as a NYC Landmark, is listed as eligible for landmarking.  As such, the redevelopment project was submitted to the Landmark Preservation Commission for review and comment without recourse.  Due to funding from New York State for certain portions of the project, those portions were subject to New York State Historic Preservation Office review.     

Apple Store - Valencia, Spain

The Apple Store on Calle Colon in Valencia was built as a single family home in the early 1800‘s.  Although it is not designated as a City Landmark, Apple choose to restore the exterior of the building enclosure back to its original appearance.  The exception being the ground floor window grills and entrance doors which were salvaged and turned over to the City of Valencia for reuse.  An archeologist was employed to exam and monitor the excavation required to accommodate a new partial basement.
