OCV was tasked with a substantial structural, mechanical and architectural rehabilitation of this historic residence on Brooklyn Avenue.
Part of the work saw the historic restoration ushered through NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. As a result this beautiful building was restored to its original condition.
OCV designed this penthouse addition as a duplex that tops off a historic Tribeca building. This luxurious residence spans the depth of an entire NYC block and provides ample room for four bedrooms and three bathrooms on the lower level, while the upper level features a large light-flooded eat-in kitchen, separate dining area and bathroom, and a living room and office both with adjacent terraces to complete the North and South facing ends.
OCV’s design for this mixed use New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission loft building on Lafayette Street modernized and transformed the rundown lobby to striking effect.
Among the project features are:
– custom oil steel stair
– reclaimed wood wall panels
– granites floor tiles
– cove lighting and an illuminated floating ceiling
This stretch of four historic commercial storefronts on the corner of Bleecker and Christopher Streets in the West Village received a Landmarks Preservation approved historic renovation with interior reconfiguration.
Together with a historic renovation of the facades and storefronts, the set of four commercial spaces now each offer tenants ample room for retail businesses.
Sitting at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Water Street Condominiums are a luxury new construction. The building was recreated to resemble the Landmarked 19th century warehouse that occupied this Fulton Ferry Historic District site.
The historic facade rebuild was approved by the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. A conversion added a three-story stacked addition to the rear of the building. The project created thirteen luxury, two to four bedroom condominiums with spacious terraces and on-site parking. Additionally the building has a ground floor commercial space and just outside is Brooklyn Bridge Park.
As part of a portfolio of five rehabs in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, this historic 42-unit building on St. Nicholas Avenue underwent an Enterprise Green Communities rehabilitation.
OCV historically renovated the residential lobby of this mixed use loft building on Broome Street, including:
– renovation of the marble wall finish
– restoration of the existing ceiling complete with new lighting
– new terrazzo flooring
– new elevator door frames and custom millwork at interior door surrounds
– integration of heating, intercom and security features
This project is the combination of three tenements into an elevatored residence for formerly homeless and persons with mental health issues.
The shared two and three room dormitory style layouts provide 55 tenant rooms in the mixed five and three-story buildings. A key park interior courtyard and restored antique furnishings are main features of the project.
The Cornerstone Residence is the site of a 104,000 s.f., seven contiguous building, historic complex within the resurging city center of Newburgh, NY. OCV’s challenge here was the successful integration of a vast mixed-use program, including supportive housing, 12 artist’s lofts with adjacent studio space, a theater, and retail and commercial spaces, into a cohesive development within the city’s historic context.
In 2007, the Cornerstone was awarded ‘Outstanding Residence of the Year’ by the Supportive Housing Network of New York.
