We are a full-service firm in Manhattan and would love to talk to you about your project. Very exciting time-- I built my own house a few years ago in New Jersey (divorced and moved to Manhattan) and I come from a family of house builders and developers so I know how to get you what you want.

I am an architect in Manhattan. I am currently working on a townhouse alteration converting a floor into medical offices and two other floors into apartments. Our firm does Green Design which we can easily integrate into your project.

I would be very happy to discuss your project with you and give you more information about the firm.

I'd like to do a combo glass door/wall of windows (far in the future when I can afford to), and I have some preliminary questions for people who have made this change:

- How do you keep the room from being cold with that much window exposure?
- What have people advised you in terms of security? (We've been burglarized once, then I installed bars in the windows.)

Thanks for any info you can share.

Keep in mind that Brooklyn mosquitoes come straight from hell so you need to make sure you get good screen doors with that setup or you will never actually open them up.

I've installed Bliss-nor Am windows in various projects and they are beautiful and very well insulated. The are a bit pricey but cheaper than Hopes and just as nice. The have low and clean profiles so the frames won't be so large like aluminum doors. The installer is Wayne Conklin for the NYC area and he's a nice guy to deal with but you'll have to go through a contractor for his work usually.

I am a sole proprietor Architect in NYC and just happened to go through this exact same process for a townhouse I owned in
Harlem...converted SRO to 4 family, as well I have gone through this process for 3 other buildings (2 of them from SRO to 2 family, 1 other to 4 apartments).

I can discuss your project with you.

call me for a ballpark figure
thats really what you wanted but none of us want to print it here

Posted by: dexpediter at April 4, 2009 11:29 AM in response to Cost to convert SRO to 4 Family

my thoughts EXACTLY jp2,

just remember when it comes time to talk numbers, insist that you will hire your own expediter so remove that cost from the architects fee in the approval phase and construction phase.

would you let the bank hire your mortgage lawyer???
most people do because no one advised them otherwise.

Hi
After years of looking I have found Silvia Benelli. She is not overpriced because she is very fast worker . She gets done in one hour what others take for ever. Very precise. It does help that she is Swiss. Everything was researched before you get to construction. The contractor got the work and never called me once. I repeat NEVER. The job was done at the price I wanted. She is not married to her own style she will do what you want.
Try her out call 212 730 4370
