1234 DEAN ON CURBED TODAY

Curbed hooked us up with a nice bit of press on 1234 Dean today (but they didn’t do a great job at fact checking). Click through for the full story.

CONCRETE SLAB INSTALLATION

The parlor floor of our Carroll Gardens house will have a heated, polished concrete slab as the finished floor. The concrete was delivered today and looks great.  

RADIANT HEAT AND HVAC

Heat and HVAC are going in at our Carroll Gardens project. The house will be heated via a three-zone radiant heat system and cooled with a four-zone central air conditioning system. The parlor floor will have a supplementary forced hot air option for added comfort.

FACADE RESTORATION BEGINS

The scaffolding is up and the historic facade restoration is underway at our Crown Heights development project. The scope of work includes stripping all the paint, repointing, restoring the slate roof, patching the terra-cotta on the first two floors and adding a new brownstone stoop. Stay tuned for the reveal in a few weeks.

STEEL AND A/C TO ROOF

With the asbestos removed from the roof we began setting up the steel frame for the roof deck and delivered the A/C condenser via crane. Click through for all the pictures.

RECLAIMING WOOD!

A big focus of the Carroll Gardens job is sustainable design and development. Much of the original building material is being reused in the new home including these old floor boards. We’re milling them down and will be using them on the ceiling of the office/mezzanine in a few short months.

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

In preparation for the new bulkhead, skylight and roof deck installation at our Park Slope project we removed the asbestos from the roof. Check out the pictures.

MOMENT FRAME INSTALL

This week we installed the moment frame in our Carroll Gardens project. There was a lot of heavy lifting involved but the house is now stronger than ever. Click through for pictures.
