Discussion about
We have an accepted offer for a 2400 sq foot loft in Tribeca that is basically a gut. Unfortunately we have to move the kitchen and redo 2.5 bathrooms. among other things. I think we have a realistic budget of about 300 per square foot. One of the things I have read is the recommendation to use an architect to come up with very detailed plans so you get realistic bids. The loft is one of those floor throughs with wood beams. We are looking for an architect who could both enhance the industrial quality but bring in some great design elements to make it feel modern. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Take a look at Shadow Architects: http://shadowarchitects.com/

Larry Cohn is the principal there -- he is well-versed in residential gut jobs here in NYC, extremely knowledgeable and does terrific work.

Hi Aaron474,

It's great to see that you're starting with research on the architect before meeting with the general contractors. I also advise that you start collecting precedent images on websites such as Houzz to facilitate your conversations with prospective design firms.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office to discuss your project. We'd be happy to review the design, permitting, contractor selection and construction administration process with you.
