Northeast Collaborative Architects was formed in 2011 by a merger of Bianco Giolitto Weston, Architects of Middletown, Connecticut and the Newport Collaborative Architects of Newport and Providence, Rhode Island.  Both firms are highly respected Architectural and Planning Firms with an impressive body of work that spans educational, municipal, security, hospitality and residential design specialties. Of significance is a shared expertise in Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse of Historic Structures.  Both firms have a substantial portfolio of historically based projects.  NCA is also focused on sustainable design and encourages staff to participate in the LEED program by the Green Building Council to ensure NCA's clients that they stand behind their commitments.
