HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration BROOKLYN NAVY YARD When an established Brooklyn based coffee company decided to consolidate its roasting and shipping under one roof, they retained Morozov Engineering to help them bring their vision to reality. Founded in 2009 in a Brooklyn loft, artisanal coffee purveyor- Brooklyn Roasting Company- has consistently been ranked as top 5 coffee places in Brooklyn (Yelp), one of 10 best coffee shops on New York City (Gothamist) and best local brew of 2015 (Gothamist). BRC prides itself on sourcing locally grown, organic fair trade coffee beans. It is no surprise they decided to locally source engineering services as well. BRC came to Morozov because their previous consultant was not responsive to their needs and was too expensive. Brooklyn Navy Yard is a former US Navy shipbuilding yard spanning 300 acres on the East River in Wallabout Basin. Following its closure in the mid 60’s, the yard was re-opened in 1969 as an industrial park. Since 1989, the site has seen economic development spurred by the city’s investment. Today, more than 200 businesses operate at the yard and employ about 5,000 people. Brooklyn Roasting Company decided to take up a 16,000 SF space in the Navy Yard to consolidate its roasting operations. On most projects, clients come to their engineers with defined design criteria. In the case of BRC, the client did not know how to best program the their new facility. There were plans for an office, packing, roasting, and shipping and even performance space functions. Our engineers worked closely with the client and architect to learn BRC’s business model, ins and outs of a coffee roasting process and the client’s future plans in order to help the client define present and future performance requirements of the space. MOROZOV was retained to provide consulting, engineering design and construction administration services for BRC’s new facility. The project involved specialty HVAC systems for coffee roasting production plant. MOROZOV prepared documents for State Historic Preservation Office filing.

    RESIDENTIAL 347 WEST END AVENUE PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Lamb & Rich PROJECT LOCATION PROJECT SIZE PROJECT COST SCOPE MEP engineering design This Eclectic Renaissance/Revival building was designed with a limestone façade and gabled tile roof by famed architects Lamb & Rich as part of an original row of 14 houses in 1891. The home’s first owner was Charles F. Rand who made his fortune in the mining industry in Cuba and Spain. In the 1950’s, the property was converted to nine apartments, and now the new owners are converting back to a single family residence. The scope of the conversion included an additional set back fifth floor, with an elevator overrun, roof bulkhead, and copper and glass skylight atop it. The current three-story-tall projecting rear yard addition will be demolished and replaced with a four-story-tall rear yard addition. A Juliette balcony, clad in copper, will jut out just into the canopy of a 130- to 140-year-old cherry tree. This is Morozov’s third project along the historic West End Avenue ( 915 West End Avenue and 309 West 86th Street ) Morozov team worked closely with the architect to thoughtfully integrate new infrastructure into the existing historic shell. Morozov provided MEP engineering design and approval services for all mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems.

    848 Carroll Street, Brooklyn RESIDENTIAL 848 CARROLL STREET, BROOKLYN PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT TRIARCH PROJECT LOCATION 848 Carroll Street, Brooklyn PROJECT SIZE $ 2.5 million PROJECT COST $ 170,000,000 SCOPE Full MEP/FP design Full gut renovation and rear addition to a landmarked townhouse located in Brooklyn’s Park Slope Historic District. The history and development of the Park Slope Historic District is closely related to that of Prospect Park. The area encompassed by the park and the Historic District was the scene of a major battle in the revolutionary war between the Continental Army under George Washington and the British Army in August of 1776. At that time and until the 1850’s this area remained essentially rural, consisting largely of farmland with rolling hills to the east. In sum, the completion of Prospect Park and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883 were the two major factors in the development of the area. Carroll Street- named after Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence- is one of the most serene and charming streets in the District. 848 Carroll is a neoclassical four-story red brick with limestone trim, was designed by William B. Greenman and completed in 1905 and described in the AIA Guide to New York City as “a narrow bay-windowed neo-classical exile from the Upper East Side” Morozov worked closely with the architect and owners to seamlessly integrate all new building infrastructure into the existing shell. Morozov consulted the owner on high performance building strategies, such as passive heating and cooling, insulation and envelope air-tightness, highly efficient domestic water heating and continuous ventilation with energy recovery. With the exception of domestic water heating, the building does not use natural gas or any other fuel for heating, and is cooled and heated with a variable-refrigerant flow system.

  • 535 PARK AVENUE: MULTIPLE APARTMENTS

    Upper East Side Historic District RESIDENTIAL 535 PARK AVENUE: MULTIPLE APARTMENTS PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT NA PROJECT LOCATION Upper East Side Historic District PROJECT SIZE 86,000 SF PROJECT COST NA SCOPE MEP engineering design 535 Park Avenue is located just ½ blocks south of the Upper East Side Historic District. The development of the general area began around 1807 when the City established Hamilton Square as a boon to real estate developers on the tacks of land north of 59th street. Northward expansion of the city was first fueled by growing influx of Irish and German immigrants following the Irish potato famine, and the Revolution of 1848. The completion of Central park in 1858 and construction of elevated railroads on the north-south avenues in the late 1870’s further drove the speculative development in this part of the city. According to History of Real Estate, between 1868 and 1873, the value of property above 59th Street rose over 200 percent. In 1910 the New York Central Railroad decided to build a new Grand Central Terminal and to place the lines running along Fourth Avenue entirely below ground. Thus when the tracks were completely covered over. The name, Park Avenue came into general use replacing Fourth Avenue, and landscaped malls were placed down the middle of the road in the area which previously had been left partially open for ventilation above the railroad tracks. Park Avenue quickly became lined with the same type of luxury apartment buildings which were rising on Fifth Avenue. Once associated with the poor and working class, after the World War I apartment living began to become fashionable for wealthy New Yorkers. In 1909 A consortium of lawyers, bankers and a painter commissioned Herbert Lucas to design a 15-story 35-unit coop building on the southeast corner lot of Park Avenue and 61st Street. Named Number 535 Park Avenue the building was designed of steel frame structure with terra cotta and brick façade adorned with splayed lintels and half-oval balconies. When completed at a cost of approximately $550,000, the building comprised 86,000 square feet and provided hotel-like amenities, such as furnished lobby, uniformed doormen, and elevator operators. Original mechanical systems included central ConEdison steam. Original apartments did not have central air conditioning or cooling, and most of the units had outdated electrical service. Morozov provided MEP engineering design and approval services to several apartments in this building, working closely with architects and owners to integrate state-of-the-art mechanical systems into the existing historic features of the apartments.

  • EAST 10 STREET, MANHATTAN TOWNHOUSES

    Multiple locations in Manhattan RESIDENTIAL EAST 10 STREET, MANHATTAN TOWNHOUSES PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Phil Toscano (architect of record) Beringer Architects (interior) PROJECT LOCATION Multiple locations in Manhattan PROJECT SIZE Each townhouse is about 5,500 SF PROJECT COST $5 million SCOPE Full MEP/FP design Full gut renovation of two landmarked townhouses near historic Stuyvesant Street in Manhattan in St. Mark’s historic district. According to Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), 106 and 110 are two of three identical houses were built in 1867 by an Irish-American builder, James Mulry, at an estimated cost of $6,000. The three buildings were erected on the lots that Mr. Mulry leased from Hamilton Fish- the 16th Governor of New York State and the Secretary of State under Ulysses Grant. The buildings were designed in a late version of the Italianate style by D. & J. Jardine Architects. The segmental-arched doorways have stone cornico-slabs supported on vertical console brackets which, in turn, are carried on paneled pilasters. They are four stories high, above a basement, and all retain their stoops. They are all three surmounted by individual bracketed cornices which are aligned at the same level. The stone basement wall is carried up to sill height at the first floor with recessed stone panels under each window. MOROZOV carried upgrades to power, water, sewer utility connections. Our engineers worked hand-in-hand with the interior architects to thoughtfully integrate central heating and cooling systems into the buildings.

The earliest phase between roughly 1885 and 1900 saw the construction of speculatively built row houses and flats for the middle and upper classes. By the turn of the century, developers began to focus on constructing larger apartment buildings as increasing construction costs ended row house construction, and the newly opened IRT on Broadway made the Upper West Side more accessible to the city’s expanding population. Legislation such as the 1901 Tenement House Act, the 1916 zoning ordinance, and the 1929 Multiple Dwelling Law contributed to the transformation in the scale of the streetscapes of West End Avenue, Riverside Drive, and West 79th and West 86th Streets where row houses and smaller buildings were replaced by newer, larger buildings.[1] 309-311 West 86th Street was commissioned as a hotel in 1912 by Weymer Hinckley Waitt- a railroad engineer turned hotelier, whose company later built the Weylin Hotel on Madison Avenue. The 12-story 40,000 square foot building was designed by Schwartz & Gross and completed in October of 1914 at a cost of $250,000. Originally known as Hotel Wayne until 1953 when it was converted into the Waldorf Nursing Home. In 1962 it became a residence club for senior citizens. Following interior alterations in 1979 the building was reconverted into apartments and became a co-op known as Stetson House. In 1984 John F Kennedy Jr. and Robert Littell moved in together into a 2-bedroom sublet at 309 West 86th Street. 309 West 86th Street is one of several Morozov projects along the historic West End Avenue ( 347 West End and 915 West End ) Morozov was retained to provide engineering design and consulting services for the owners of the penthouse apartment. The project involved a full floor gut renovation. [1]Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), Riverside-West End Historic District Extension I Designation Report (LP-2463)

Industry City (originally known as Bush Terminal) is a 16-building, 6 million square foot industrial complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn that was founded in 1895 by Irving T. Bush. The twelve manufacturing buildings had been completed by 1918 and housed about 300 companies. For over eighty years, the complex served as one of the largest integrated cargo and manufacturing sites in the word. At its peak during the industrial height of the early 20th Century, nearly 25,000 workers went to work at the complex every day. Until 1974 Bush Terminal was an active port facility. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bush Terminal housed the highest concentration of garment manufacturers in New York City outside of Manhattan. Today the complex is home to a wide range of tenants including 3-D printer maker Makerbot and the Brooklyn Nets. MOROZOV was retained to provide engineering design and consulting services for Alexis Bittar’s new facility. Morozov’s team was brought in at an early stage of the process, during lease negotiations, to assist the architect and the client in formulating and developing a strategy that meets current and growing production needs. The project involved a full floor gut renovation. The design incorporates mechanical ventilation system for jewelry making process and robust power distribution to all production work stations.
