The Emerson

We renovated the Emerson (pictured), a former trade school, and the Old School, a turn-of-the-century model tenement building, into 86 new affordable studios, one-, and two-bedroom apartments. A new steel and glass system encloses the original open-air stairs of the Emerson, maintaining the design intent while providing shelter for the new residents. The project was awarded for its excellence in historic preservation by the Preservation League of NYS and the New York Construction Magazine.
