Landmark District Apartment Gut Renovation: A Thoughtful Prewar Restoration for Modern Living
This full service design build project involved a complete gut renovation of a landmarked Prewar apartment in Manhattan, transforming a dated two-bedroom, two-bath residence into a highly functional, refined home tailored to contemporary living.
Working within the constraints of a landmarked Pre War building, this Residential NYC renovation required Department of Building permits, careful planning, and close coordination to ensure all Construction and Restoration work met co-op and landmark requirements.
The scope of work included a full apartment gut renovation, reconfiguring and upgrading all major systems while preserving the integrity of the original Prewar structure. The renovation was designed to enhance livability while respecting the architectural character typical of Prewar, Post-War, and transitional Manhattan residences found in co-ops, condos, lofts, and townhomes.
