Talk to others in your building who have recently gone through this for their recommendations and advice. Architects who already know your particular building will have some advantages. Also ask the super for recommendations. If the super liked the architect/contractor, that is a huge plus for you if you use them. Cold calls like this one will get you information of completely indeterminate value.

No no no, kylewest... edge75, just sue the Co-op board to ensure you get this information. I'm sure they are "holding" back something... you can use the "Feedom of Information" act. :)

He's brillant! He's done many apartments in NYC both pre and post war and has even done a few townhouses.

Platt Dana. They are terrific- see their website. Beautiful, clean lines, and well versed in coop renovation culture.

Here is the link: archivesid.com
They are very efficient and creative, and won’t waste your time or money.
Their contractor will give you an accurate cost from the beginning so you won’t waste time designing something you can’t afford.Building and dob approvals went easy.
