Did you know? Pre-war apartments are prized for a reason. 🏛️🤍

Higher ceilings. Thicker walls. Real plaster, solid construction, and a sense of space that most new buildings simply can’t replicate. Built before WWII, these homes were designed with craftsmanship and proportion in mind, and that’s why they still command attention (and prices) across NYC.

The thicker walls mean better sound insulation. The taller ceilings mean more light and a greater feeling of openness. And the character? You can’t fake it.

But renovating a pre-war comes with its own rules: board approvals, aging building systems, and layouts that don’t always cooperate. That’s where an architect who knows these buildings makes all the difference.

Your backyard should work as hard as the rest of your home. 🏊🌿

Pool, pavilion, outdoor fireplace, dining area, lounge space, and lush landscaping, all designed to flow together like one seamless extension of the home. This isn’t just a backyard. It’s an entire outdoor living experience.

Is your outdoor space living up to its potential? Let’s talk about what’s possible.

FACT: Changing how a space is used is one of the most regulated moves you can make in NYC. And getting it wrong is expensive.

Here’s what a basement apartment conversion actually triggers:

*Zoning: your district has to allow a second unit. Not every property qualifies.
*Certificate of Occupancy amendment: you need to legally change the use from storage/utility to residential. No CO change = illegal unit.
*Egress requirements: bedrooms need properly sized windows for emergency exit. Most basements don’t meet this standard as-is.
*Ceiling height minimums: NYC requires at least 7 feet of clearance for habitable space.
*Separate entrance: required for a legal accessory unit in most cases.
*Fire separation: rated walls and ceilings between units.
*Plumbing & electrical: a full kitchen and bathroom means full permits.

Skip any of these and you’re looking at fines, stop-work orders, or being forced to restore the space; after spending tens of thousands of dollars.

Save this before you call a contractor. And DM us before you start anything.

We don’t just design walls, we design worlds. 🏎️🤍

Every room in a home tells a story. And before we draw a single line, we ask: who is going to live here? What do they love? What do they dream about?

We imagine every corner of your home before it exists, so that when it’s built, every room feels like it was made for exactly the person who lives in it. Because it was. 🏡

A moment of calm, a spark of creativity, a conversation that brings people closer. Great architecture goes beyond aesthetics, it creates spaces that influence how we feel, live, and connect.
Through thoughtful design, intentional details, and a balance of beauty and function, even the most ordinary moments can become extraordinary.
Because the best spaces don’t just look beautiful. They make you feel something. 🖤🏡

The kind of home that stops you before you even reach the front door. 🏡🍂

This is European-inspired residential architecture with roots planted firmly in the tristate area; refined, timeless, and built to hold everything that matters.

We believe your home should feel like an arrival every single time you pull up. Not just a house at an address, but a place that tells a story the moment you see it.

When the ocean is your backyard, the architecture has to earn the view. 🌊🏡

Cedar shingles, white trim, an arched entry, a standing-seam metal roof, and windows that pull in every inch of that sunset- this is coastal residential architecture designed to honor its setting. Three stories of warmth glowing against the water at dusk.

A home like this isn’t just built. It’s designed around the light, the wind, the salt air, and the way the ocean looks at every hour of the day.

Every angle, every finish, every detail, everything is perfect. 🏡🤍

The warm oak treads, the custom black steel railings, the way the light falls through the skylight at exactly the right hour; none of this happens by accident. It happens because we think through every inch of a space before ordering a single material.

That’s the standard we hold ourselves to. Always. 🏗️
