The Allen-Stevenson School is a private Kindergarten through 8th grade school located within the Upper East Side Historic District of Manhattan. This 100,000 square-foot multi-phase expansion project began with the acquisition of two adjacent townhouses to make way for a state-of-the-art science, engineering, technology and performing arts center. It also included structural reinforcements of the original structure that allowed for the addition of new floors that now contain a new full-sized gymnasium, a greenhouse, and an outdoor play space. Moreover, new foundation elements and a new steel structure were incorporated to provide for future vertical enlargement of a separate wing. Overall, the entire school facility underwent a complete transformation, including new finishes, two new high-speed elevators and upgraded mechanical, security, IT, and audio-visual infrastructure.

La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club is an award winning Off-Off-Broadway theatre in Manhattan’s East Village. A detailed restoration was completed on 74 East 4th Street, La MaMa’s landmarked building. To preserve the building, new foundation and structural upgrades were implemented, and the existing cast iron façade was methodically restored. To provide for ADA access, the project incorporated a new elevator and altered floor elevations. Lastly, comprehensive theatrical lighting and audio-visual systems were installed to provide new performing spaces. This LEED Silver certified project received the Lucy G. Moses Award by the NY Landmarks Conservancy, the Village Preservation’s Regina Kellerman Award, and an Honorable Mention for the LIT Awards.

45 Great Jones Street is an 8-story high-end residential building located in the NoHo Historic District. This project involved bracing the original building’s three-story façade, demolition of the original building structure, and ultimately the combination of a new concrete superstructure with the preserved façade. Notably, the Penthouse level was connected with the top floor of an adjacent building, allowing for an expansive multi-level private residential apartment. Construction and sales of the building’s full floor units and ground floor retail space were completed in 2015.
