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. 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.
- 347 WEST END AVENUE
Morozov provided MEP engineering design and approval services for all mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems.347 WEST END AVENUE LANDMARKS 347 WEST END AVENUE PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Lamb & Rich PROJECT LOCATION 347 WEST END AVENUE PROJECT SIZE PROJECT COST SCOPE Morozov provided MEP engineering design and approval services for all mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. 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.

- FASHION TOWER
COMMERCIAL FASHION TOWER PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT GRT Architects PROJECT LOCATION 135 West 36th Street, New York, NY PROJECT SIZE PROJECT COST SCOPE GRT Architects recently completed the renovation and historic restoration of Fashion Tower, an Art Deco-era skyscraper in New York’s Garment District. The building was designed by Emery Roth, best known for his iconic pre-war residential towers including the San Remo and Beresford. Among the many buildings in what was once the epicenter of American clothing design and manufacturing, Fashion Tower is unique for its ornamental motifs referencing the apparel industry and for being occupied to this day by the garment trade. Motivated by the resurgence of the Fashion District and the building’s unique history, the current owner asked GRT Architects to restore the facade of the tower’s base while sensitively incorporating a contemporary lobby. Guided by Roth’s original drawings archived at Columbia University’s Avery Library, GRT Architects restored the exterior of Fashion Tower to its original splendor. Earlier renovations obscured a figured sandstone facade with layers of grey stucco and destroyed intricate detailing at the entry. Into a restored carved stone archway, GRT Architects added a minimal all-glass entry set back from the line of the masonry. True to Roth’s intentions, this portal is once again flanked by polychrome terracotta panels with peacock motifs— symbols of apparel, elegance and style. These peacocks rejoin surviving ornament that include winged putti holding shears and draping fabric, and women admiring their reflections and clutching spindles. A delicate façade cleaning revealed a richly veined sandstone cladding and forensic paint analysis was used to bring the appearance of cast iron spandrels and window frames back to the original. Inside, GRT Architects extended Roth’s stylized celebration of the fashion industry with a double-height lobby clad in pleated calacatta marble and bronze-tinted aluminium. The geometry of the lobby wall nods to folds in fabric while the scale and material palette play on the delicate balance between imposing and intimate that is a hallmark of New York Art Deco. Off-site CNC fabrication and on-site handcraft was used to realize a contemporary design in a classic material. Drawing upon the building’s history to prepare it for the next hundred years of service, the renovation reasserts the importance of fashion and style in a dynamic neighborhood.

St. John’s Episcopal Hospital is the only hospital providing emergency and ambulatory care to the densely populated, culturally and economically diverse, and medically underserved populations of the Rockaways and Five Towns in southern Queens County and southwestern Nassau County, New York. The 257-bed facility provides people of all faiths with comprehensive preventive, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative services, regardless of ability to pay. The new teaching center was conceived as an expansion facility to relieve congestion and provide new state-of-the-art training and teaching areas to support residency programs. The center comprises of exam rooms, lecture halls, simulation rooms, offices and classrooms. Two floors are designed to be fully compliant with New York State Health Law Article 28. The basement floor will be a new home to the hospital's IT department including its data center. In addition, the new facility is conceived to serve an emergency community shelter. Morozov team began the process with a comprehensive design review of all building systems designed by legacy engineer. In the course of the design review our team has found numerous opportunities for optimization of incoming services, sprinkler, mechanical and electrical systems, resulting in estimated $250,000 in construction cost savings to the project as well as savings in operating expenses.
