Bed-Stuy Renovation
Gut renovation of a deteriorating single family residence on an otherwise well maintained townhouse-filled street. Created an owner's triplex with new access to the rear yard and carved a desirable ground floor rental unit out of the former basement.
Historic District Townhouse
Total renovation of a stone townhouse in a historic district in Baltimore to achieve several goals: replace worn out decorative finishes with new; create a greatly improved and marketable tenant's suite; provide upgraded mechanicals throughout; and ensure that the renovations qualified for reimbursement from the state's historic trust.
Three-Story Addition
Owners of a finely preserved brownstone extend structure outwards and upwards to meet the needs of active and growing family.
IN PROGRESS.
Greenwich Street Loft
Renovation of 2,000 square foot loft with high-end kitchen, bathrooms, office and finishes for an executive's dream home. The central kitchen's layout leaves plenty of room for entertaining and gatherings with friends.
(In association with CZ Design and TTES Contracting LLC)
Cellar Conversion
The lifestyle of teen-aged children and their friends helped to dictate the need for a place where they could unwind separate from areas inhabited by parents. This cellar conversion responded to their wishes with a colorful recreation room and multi-media space.
Townhouse Atrium
An Upper East Sider wanted her outdoor garden accessible from nearly every floor of her townhouse. This preliminary design does just that by removing sections of the existing rear wall and installing a large glass enclosure and a spiral stair.
IN PROGRESS.
Williamsburg Combination
Architectural work included review of previous Department of Building documents to combine a sloped ceiling space above with large living areas below connected via a new stair. Obtained a Certificate of Occupancy for the new arrangement.
Central Park West
Combining an exquisite corner apartment overlooking Central Park West with an aging studio apartment allowed for the installation of an owner's study/exercise room and adjoining bathroom, laundry room and closet.
East Village Combination
Design combines two cooperative apartments. The small, enclosed galley-type kitchens became one central light-filled open kitchen. The new wide hall connects the children's and parents' bedrooms with the more public kitchen, dining and living room.
Midtown Combination
Combination of two cooperative apartments on a fast-track schedule greatly increased storage for expecting wife and husband while upgrading and opening the kitchen to the living and dining rooms.
Brooklyn Apartment
Owner's growing family in an elevator building worked with architect to convert a maid's room into a combination office and guest room. Design includes more efficient and expanded counter areas, new double oven, professional stove and full-size washer dryer within the renovated space.
Co-op Kitchen
A co-op owner's long-awaited chance to renovate a characterless kitchen resulted in more counter space, increased storage, better lighting and solid wood cabinets in place of laminate tops. Architect and owner worked together to make good use of every available inch.
Prospect Park West
A stately but outdated apartment in a doorman building did not serve the needs of its new owners. The design groups appliances in a more efficient layout by eliminating two separate galley spaces in favor of brighter and more open cooking and breakfast areas adjacent to a convenient computer nook.Brownstone Kitchen
This kitchen renovation increased existing counter and cabinet space by a factor of ten, re-used all original detailing, millwork and appliances, and reversed a window and a door to gain access to an expanded rear balcony overlooking the garden.
Manhattan Duplex
Major renovation of a duplex apartment in a limestone building across the street from MoMA. Existng space was poorly laid out and kitchen was dark. Created new bathroom, dressing area and home office space, redesigned entire kitchen. Installed new decorative wood stair.
Metlife
Owner's Representative for the façade restoration of one of New York City's largest towers containing approximately 2.8 million square feet of space. The unusual façade system consists of large panels of white stone aggregate that had turned dark from soot and whose deteriorating condition had begun to allow water to weaken their steel anchoring.

NYU Dormitory

Grand Central Terminal
Project Manager for significant portions of $200 million revitalization of Grand Central Terminal, the nation's premier urban transit hub, while 500,000 daily commuters continued their travels uninterrupted.

Roof Replacement
Roof replacement on an 90 year-old building. Chronic water infiltration had damaged the parapets, the north-facing brick façade walls as well as interior decorative plaster work. Replacing the roof membrane was the critical first step towards the goal of restoring the rest of the building.
Landmark Facade Restoration
A commercial landlord felt the time was right to perform several exterior maintenance projects on his 40,000 SF retail & office building including re-pointing and restoring the entire Tudor style façade to comply with Landmark's Preservation Commission requirements.
Stained Glass Restoration
A $170,000 stained glass window restoration for a local religious institution whose building is listed on the New York State Register of Historic Buildings.
