Design & Collaboration

The renovation was approached with a strong emphasis on sequencing, logistics, and finish integration within an occupied residential building environment. Particular attention was given to maintaining a clean and organized construction process while minimizing disruption to daily building operations and tenant access.

The design incorporated refined material selections and architectural detailing intended to elevate the overall character of the lobby and common spaces.

Execution & Key Elements

Execution required careful coordination of demolition, material deliveries, trade sequencing, and temporary circulation pathways within the active residential building.

Key elements of the renovation included custom millwork, custom metalwork, terrazzo flooring, updated lighting systems, and new interior finishes throughout the lobby environment. Particular attention was given to finish transitions, detailing, and durability appropriate for high-traffic common areas.

The project required disciplined project management and close coordination between ownership, residents, subcontractors, and building operations to maintain safety and continuity throughout construction.

Outcome

The result is a refined and modernized residential lobby environment that improves the arrival experience for residents while integrating durable materials, architectural detailing, and carefully coordinated construction execution.
