Gut Renovation Architecture

A gut renovation — stripping a space back to its studs and rebuilding from scratch — is the most complex type of residential project. We specialize in guiding NYC homeowners through the full process: design, engineering coordination, DOB filing, contractor selection, and construction oversight. We've done this in some of New York City's most challenging buildings.

DOB Permit Filing & Expediting

Navigating the New York City Department of Buildings is one of the biggest pain points in any renovation. We handle all permit applications, agency filings, objection responses, and DOB inspections — so you don't have to. Our deep familiarity with NYC's building code and zoning resolution means fewer delays and faster approvals.

Landmarks Commission Approvals

Renovating a landmarked building in NYC requires a separate approval process through the Landmarks Preservation Commission — on top of standard DOB permits. We have extensive experience preparing and presenting LPC applications for both interior and exterior work on historic buildings across Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Co-op & Condo Board Approval Packages

Most NYC co-op and condo boards require detailed architectural drawings and documentation before approving any renovation. We prepare complete alteration agreement packages — including existing and proposed floor plans, scope descriptions, and engineering sign-offs — that meet even the most demanding board requirements.

Feasibility Studies & Needs Analysis

Not sure what's possible within your budget, building, or timeline? Our Needs and Options Review is a stand-alone consultation starting at $1,250. We assess your space, define your scope, identify regulatory constraints, and give you a clear picture of what's realistic — before you commit to anything.

Construction Management

We don't disappear after the drawings are done. Our construction management service keeps us on-site and accountable throughout the build — conducting site visits, reviewing contractor work, managing RFIs and change orders, and ensuring the finished result matches the design intent.

Interior Design & Space Planning

Good architecture is inseparable from good interior design. We help clients think through finishes, fixtures, furniture layouts, and material palettes that work with the architecture — not against it. We can work with your existing preferences or help you develop a direction from scratch.
