Together with Project Renewal Inc and Bruno Frustaci Contracting Inc, we celebrated Bedford Green House Phase II’s topping-off with a hard hat BBQ lunch.

It’s time to head to the beach! As Associate Architect and Architect of Record, we worked closely with The Portico Group in Seattle on the new shark exhibit at the New York Aquarium on Coney Island.

Phase II of Bedford Green House is rising quickly, stay tuned for some exciting updates!

To enhance the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club’s Lucile Palmaro Clubhous for decades to come, ESKW/A is working closely with the program directors to redesign the heart of the facility, the Games Room.

We are pleased to share early construction photos from our latest collaboration with Providence House.

We were selected by the NYC School Construction authority for the development of a stand-alone new building for PS 508Q in Long Island City, Queens.

With Project Renewal Inc’s support, key features from our Support and Connection Center (SCC) are being enhanced and incorporated into the Barbara Kleiman Shelter.

As the installation of the precast stone panels continues at our PS108X Addition with the NYCSCA, the interior spaces are also coming together nicely.

We congratulate Bowery Residents’ Committee (BRC) and Gala Honoree, Peggy King Jorde on another successful Gala season! As construction begins on Inwood Shelter and Memorial, we look back on BRC’s innovative “Homestretch Housing” model, piloted by our joint project, the Apartments at Landing Road and Reaching New Heights Residence.

To distinguish the commercial and residential programs at Archer Green, the entrances to the building’s residential towers are set back from the commercial storefronts.

Located in the Claremont Village neighborhood of the Bronx, 3500 Park Apartments provides 115 studio and 2-bedroom apartments for integrated, supportive, affordable, and senior housing.

Summer is in the air and it’s a great time to spotlight some of our educational projects. As students and staff across the City conclude the school year and prepare for vacation, we take a look at some of our contributions to the educational landscape.

The two upper floors at PS32K’s new addition provide Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade classrooms as well as a rooftop ECC playground for the youngest students. The playground features modular, moveable play systems by Snug Play USA, which encourage child-directed, cooperative play.

When the Madison Square Boys & Girl’s Club reached out for a redesign of its indoor community pool at the Thomas S. Murphy Clubhouse, we were thrilled. The existing natatorium, original to the 1920’s building needed an update including, new finishes, a reshaped pool floor, updated lighting, new gutter and return systems, de-humidification systems and a new entry lobby for spectators.

Although the project was completed nearly 20 years ago, it feels like yesterday that we partnered with the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center on our fourth project located on Canal Street. The renovation of this six-floor cast iron building includes general medicine, OB/GYN, and mental health services, along with administrative offices.

Phelps House and Judith Edelman were featured in Phaidon’s recent publication, The Brutalists: Brutalism’s Best Architects— “If Brutalism is very often architecture aiming for the dramatic expression of its function, here it is modest and comparatively unassuming, yet, as in the example of Phelps House, still confident and assured in its convictions—just like the architect.”

Following ICL’s successful Gala Night honoring Governor Hochul and Robert Myers, we look back at one of our favorite ICL projects, 1070 Myrtle Avenue, a 6-story, 32,000 SF building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. The building provides supportive housing for people living with mental health concerns.

For last month’s Five Borough Bike Tour, our staff were equipped with some very cool ESKW/Architects cycling caps. Thank you, Bike Tour veterans, Sarah Holtzer and Dan Horn, for designing the caps and representing the office on the Bike Tour! Great ride!

We worked with the Children’s Aid Organization’s palette of standard colors to link the space to the organization’s branding.

The Emerson and the Old School (pictured) share a grand entryway and a two-story light-filled lobby, as well as indoor and outdoor community spaces. The metal-clad top floor of the two new stories on the Old School is visually differentiated from the original brick façade, rebuilt to replicate the original design.
