After living for 30 years in Westchester, Fran and Marv, an "active, older couple" sold their home for a fixer upper in Manhattan. Luckily, Fran's son is the founder of our firm! @6sqft featured our work to create the 2BR of Fran and Marv's dreams. https://t.co/j5Woh7p2E9

It’s safe to say that we’re all spending more time in chairs than we’re used to these days. Hopefully yours is comfy and ergonomic. Here is a fun read on how the chair has evolved over centuries, constantly trying to reach perfection. https://t.co/1SV850PrdX

As we do our part to slow the spread of the coronavirus, its important to find some needed distraction from the news. We can't go to physical museums, but thanks to technology, we can bring the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay and more museums right to our screens. https://t.co/f3oYPxfFFU

Framing, subfloor and sheetrock installation are moving along fast on floors one and two at our Greenpoint rowhouse renovation. Some sustainable features are being installed, namely the #brooklynsolarworks solar panels on the roof. Move-in date soon!

We are excited to share our recent renovation of a one-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side. The apartment originally had popcorn ceilings, dated bathrooms and kitchen, and a choppy, awkward layout. We replaced the floors, completely renovated the kitchen and both bathrooms.

We are honored to be retained to provide services for The World Diamond Center, the historic Neo-Gothic Art Deco 34-story tower in New York’s Diamond District. The building dates to 1925 and was originally designed by the architects of Grand Central Station.

Check out this beautiful residence we worked on with interior decorator. It is located in a 110 year old Landmark building on the UWS. The project entailed the combination of two adjacent apartments and the creation of a dramatic entrance vestibule. Photos by: David Joseph.

Update on our rowhouse in Greenpoint: The old roof has been stripped and replaced. Basement water was a big concern for the owners so are installing a new waterproofed concrete slab and a pit with two pumps to remove any water that manages to infiltrate. More to come!
