About Us

Savvy Structures Inc was founded in 2007 as a result of founder Dr. Lisa Wipplinger’s desire to provide innovative, people-focused, soulful, sustainable building design and education to architects, developers and visionaries using a collaborative holistic approach. The company is built on the cornerstones of innovation, excellence, integrity and sustainability.

Savvy Structures Inc is located in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York State and is a member of the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, the Hudson Valley Builders Association, and the NY Upstate Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council . We provide structural engineering design services for small-medium residential and commercial projects in New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Washington State, with professional licenses pending in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Design experience includes new and renovation/retrofit projects in steel, concrete, wood and masonry. Sustainable design and seismic upgrade are particular areas of interest.

Savvy Structures approaches projects by looking at the big picture to determine how the structure fits in and works synergistically with the whole building. We specialize in bridging the gaps between architecture and engineering, science and art, and theory and practice. We can help you take your vision to new heights and then bring it into reality.
