I served as project architect from concept through design documentation for the adaptive reuse of two 19th-century manufacturing buildings : an 1891 brick-and-timber structure and a 1921 concrete daylight factory.

Design strategy preserved each building's distinct character: exposed timber beams and painted brick in the round-arch building, oversized industrial windows and concrete structure in the factory. Combining the two different building types and levels was one of the biggest challenges. As well as structurally and architecturally adding the penthouses to the existing roof structural system.

The project includes a landscaped courtyard entry, three ground-floor townhouses with direct street access, and a shared roof deck with Manhattan bridge and NYC skyline views.
