  • 5 EAST 57TH STREET

    COMMERCIAL 5 EAST 57TH STREET PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT PROJECT LOCATION PROJECT SIZE PROJECT COST SCOPE 5 East 57th Street is an existing 22-storey 49,000 SF commercial high rise building. The stretch of East 57th Street was once an exclusive residential neighborhood with opulent mansions owned by bankers and industrialists. But by early century, most of the millionaires moved further uptown and the area greatly changed. Number 5 was among 14 sites acquired by William Randolph Hearst and Arthur Brisbane in 1925 with a view to erect a group of commercial structures along east 57th and east 54th streets. The plans for a 247-foot-tall tower were drawn up in 1926 by a prolific New York city architect Emery Roth. The building was designed as of a mix of Gothic and Art Deco style with exaggerated setbacks. In June 2004, the 1968 NYC Building Code was amended with the signing of Local Law 26 of 2004. The new law mandated retroactive requirements for a full system of automatic sprinklers to be installed in office buildings 100 feet or more in height and buildings classified in occupancy group E 100 feet or more in height. Morozov was retained by the owners of 5 East 57th Street to retrofit the building with a modern fire protection system pursuant to Local Law 26 requirements. The first challenge had to do with an interpretation of the mandate in a way as to not burden the owners with onerous system design. In other words, any proposed system had to be right-sized for the project and in accordance with NFPA 13 and NFPA 20. Another- greater- challenge was in fitting a new fire pump, all new sprinkler risers, piping, and heads into the existing shafts, ceilings and walls, while carrying out the work around the existing rent paying tenants. Following a comprehensive survey, Morozov engineers worked with the property manager to develop a floor-by-floor phasing schedule. Fire pump and main riser were installed in phase I. Floor fit outs were carried out in subsequent phases as the floors became accessible.

Pelham for the developer Joseph H. Davis, this building was constructed in 1906 as a small multiple dwelling (flats) and once known as the Albea. Located on the north side of West 93rd Street ninety-eight feet east of Riverside Drive, this six-story building faced in red brick with ironspot headers and stone trim is seventy-five feet wide and dumbbell-shaped in plan. The facade is capped by a modillioned metal cornice. An original wrought-iron fire escape is located at the center of the facade. The owners retained Morozov in their bid to renovate and reposition the building as an upmarket rental property steps away from the Riverside park. Engineering scope included gut renovation of all vacant apartment units and building systems upgrade. A new high efficiency condensing boiler plant was designed to replace an outdated (once coal-fired) steam system. To fully take advantage of the condensing boiler efficiencies, all new hydronic radiators were selected around low water temperatures. Variable speed pumps were selected for low flow, wide delta-t of the water to minimize motor horse power. Domestic water was upgraded with indirect water storage tanks fed by boilers via plate and frame heat exchangers. Morozov team had to work around existing occupied apartments to minimize disruption to tenants. Morozov provided MEP engineering design and approval services for all mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems.

    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.

  • 848 CARROLL STREET, BROOKLYN

    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.
