SWA Architecture Weekly Blog Post

Hello and welcome back to this week's SWA Architecture weekly blog post where we take an inside look at some projects that SWA Architecture has worked on.  This week we take a look at a restaurant owned by Altamarea Group, a client we collaborate with often.

Altamarea is headed by Michael White, a top chef here in New York City.  Today we are looking at one of his top spots, Marea, located at 240 Central Park South, right on the southern tip of Central Park.  If you have not dined here before I highly recommend this place, the food and ambiance is simply delightful.

SWA is the architect and expeditor for an expansion of the areas for this top ten restaurant.  SWA also designed more seating in the lower level.  This building is also a landmarked building.

As you can tell by the photos, its a beautiful and luxurious dining experience that you surely should not miss.  That's all for this week's post, stay tuned later this week for a possible bonus post to be put up!

SWA Architecture Weekly Blog Post

Hello everyone, welcome a new edition of the SWA Architecture weekly blog post where you can look at projects that SWA Architecture has been a part of while enjoying your weekend, hopefully on the beach!  This week we take a look at a project that is not open yet but is well near on it's way.  The Grand Ole Opry!

Like our previous project we looked at earlier this week, this project is also located in Times Square.  SWA is the architect and expeditor for this New York City flagship location.  Grand Ole Opry features the best singers and musicians in the world.

SWA teamed up  with interior designers Nathansan Design for our fifth project working together.  Looks like this pairing is a fruitful one.  This is a multi story venue with a stage and live performances.  On the upper floor is a separate club/lounge.

If you don't come for the venue, come for the food, where the world famous Bromberg brothers known for the Blue Ribbon restaurants supply the menu with mouth watering food.  That's it this week for SWA Architecture, check out our new instagram account - @swa_architecture for all you instagram users.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the SWA Architecture weekly blog post where we cover different projects that SWA Architecture has worked on the the tri-state area.  This week we look at a very famous spot that SWA Architecture worked on,  BB Kings Blues Club.

Located on 42nd street in Times Square, if you like Blues and Jazz this is the spot to go to.  SWA is the architect of note and expeditors for this internationally known venue.  We obtained their Place of Assembly permits.

We were also consultants on the original design working with Nathanson Design on the first project together in 2001

SWA created sixteen seating variations to accommodate various performances including live music, dancing and boxing events.  That's it for this week, stay tuned for another post to come later this week!

Bonus Post from SWA Architecture

Hello and welcome to a bonus post from SWA Architecture's weekly blog post.  This week we look at a historic landmark site at 4 St. Mark's Place, known as the Hamilton Holly house.

This large town house at 4 St. Mark's Place in the East Village section of Manhattan was constructed in 1833.  It was designated into an individual Landmark designation in 2004.

Moving on the from the history lesson, SWA Architecture has proposed to make this building to have two floors of retail, a rear addition, insert a new residential floor in the rear (6 total apartments), a curved balcony at parlor level, and a complete restoration of the facade including brick work, stone work, windows, doors and slate roof.

As you can see from the pictures and what was written, SWA Architecture is really modernizing this beauty for the present day.  I can't wait to see the finished product.  That's all for this week, stay tuned next week where we take another deep dive into some interesting projects from SWA Architecture.

Hello, hope you had a wonderful 4th of July and welcome back to the SWA weekly blog post where SWA Architecture takes a look at projects we have been a part of the the greater New York area.  This week we look at fine dining restaurant in the Lowell hotel.  Below are some renderings of what the restaurant looked like before.

Located at 28 E 63rd street, the restaurant was previously the Post House Restaurant.  After several million dollars of renovations the restaurant was transformed into this magnificent restaurant you see below.

This restaurant is host to some of the most famous celebrities who prefer their privacy.  SWA was the architect and expeditor on this very impressive project.  Stay tuned next week where we look at another great project!
