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)

    138 North 1st Street, Brooklyn RESIDENTIAL 138 NORTH 1ST STREET, BROOKLYN, NY PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Will Corcoran Architect PROJECT LOCATION 138 North 1st Street, Brooklyn PROJECT SIZE About 4,500 SF PROJECT COST $3 million SCOPE full MEP design and construction administration services A ground up construction of a luxury single family home in Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. An inaugural project for a nascent developer required careful attention to detail. Morozov worked hand in hand with the architect and developer to craft solutions that worked with the owner’s vision for the building. Morozov efficiently and successfully secured utility connection approvals and assisted the client in resolving filing and approval issues. Morozov consulted the owner on high performance building strategies, such as passive heating and cooling, insulation and envelope air-tightness, intelligent lighting controls, 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. Highly insulated envelope, and not relying on gas for heating are expected to save 20 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions on an annual basis.

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.

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.

  • BROOKLYN ROASTING COMPANY

    Full MEP design and construction administration services. HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration COMMERCIAL BROOKLYN ROASTING COMPANY PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Cypher Design PROJECT LOCATION Brooklyn Navy Yard, Building 123 PROJECT SIZE 16,000 SF PROJECT COST SCOPE Full MEP design and construction administration services. HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration 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.

    325 West 93rd Street MULTIFAMILY 325 WEST 93RD STREET PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Union Street Studio PROJECT LOCATION 325 West 93rd Street PROJECT SIZE PROJECT COST SCOPE MEP engineering design and approval services for all mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems Designed by the prolific Upper West Side architect George F. 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.
