THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Chelsea and Flatiron are characterized by loft-style residences and former industrial buildings, often defined by high ceilings, exposed structural elements, and open floor plans. These spaces allow for flexible design approaches while requiring a strong understanding of structural systems and building constraints.

REGULATIONS & APPROVALS

Renovating loft environments involves complex technical coordination, including plumbing relocation, HVAC integration, and slab penetrations.

Fire separation, egress requirements, and sprinkler systems play a central role in layout and design decisions, requiring early coordination with engineers and building management.
