SWA Architecture Weekly Blog

Hello and welcome back to the SWA Architecture week blog.  A special bonus post coming your way.  on this fabulous Friday.  If you didn't catch our first post this week take a look when you are done with this one!  We took a look at a yoga studio soon to be up and vinyasa flowing.

Also, if you didn't see our post last week do us a favor and check it out because this post is an extension of that one.  Last week we looked at Census building in Brooklyn.  This week we are checking out another Census building in the Bronx.  

Here is a brief synopsis of the Census Bureau.  The Census Bureau's mission is to serve as the nation's leading provider of quality data about its people and economy.  Every ten years a new survey is sent to the people of our nation to fill out so they can update all the data to be the most accurate.  The next census will be in 2020.  As you can see like the one in Brooklyn it still has a long way to go.  SWA Architecture are the architects, planners and expediters for both locations.  

That's it this week for the SWA Architecture weekly blog.  Stay tuned for another post next week where we take a look at another project still in the design phase.  Also, as always give us a follow on instagram and tell your friends - @swa_architecture

Hello and welcome back to the SWA Architecture weekly blog, Thanksgiving edition.  For all you first timers to this weekly blog here is a little breakdown of what we do.  We look into architectural projects that SWA Architecture has been a part of in the greater Northeast are of the United States.  SWA Architecture main office is located in Manhattan, with another office in Long Island.  We do various projects ranging from hotels, to building, to restaurants, to pretty much any kind of structure under the sun.

Last week we took a deep dive into a project still in the design phase.  This week we take a look at another project that is in the design phase.  This project is located in upper Manhattan and as you can tell by the first rendering this will be a beauty.  Below are pictures of what the project was before, not what it will be as can be seen in the rendering above.

SWA Architecture are the architects, planners, designers, zoning and code experts for this projects.  This is a rezoning of an existing two story building to be a whopping fourteen story multi use building.  This is the third project with this client.  Another project we have done with them is 4 St Marks.  You can go to previous posts to see that project from its inception to now.  These pictures below are the project getting ready for construction.

That's it this week for the SWA Architecture weekly blog.  From all of us at SWA Architecture we wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.  Stay tuned for a possible bonus holiday post coming after Thanksgiving this week.  And do us a favor and give us a follow on instagram, a great way to see all the projects we have worked on all together - @swa_architecture

Hello and welcome back to the SWA Architecture weekly blog.  The blog unlike any other, where we take an inside view into how projects and what projects are being completed by SWA Architecture in the greater Northeast area.  Today we are hitting you with a bonus post to end the week on a high.  If you didn't see our post yesterday go check it out when your done with this one!

Today we are looking at a Census building located in Brooklyn.  This company is part of the General Services Administration or GSA for short and the US Census Bureau.  As you can tell by the photos this project is still has some ways to go before it is ready to be open.  There are actually two locations being constructed, the other in the Bronx.  SWA Architecture are the architects, expediters and planners for both locations.

For those of you who are unaware of the Census Bureau is, here is your brief lesson of the day.  The Census Bureau's mission is to serve as the nation's leading provider of quality data about its people and economy.  Every ten years a new survey is sent to the people of our nation to fill out so they can update all the data to be the most accurate.  The next census will be in 2020.

SWA Architecture Weekly Blog

Hello and welcome to the SWA Architecture blog.  The blog where we explore some beautiful projects that SWA Architecture has been a part of.  This week is no different.  In fact, this week we take a look at a project just beginning.

Located at 2262 Frederick Douglas Boulevard, this project is so much so in the infancy stage that all we have so far are drawings and renderings.  We are in what is called the design phase.  As you can see from the renderings we are giving a variety of beautiful options.  When all is said and done, this will be a mixed use commercial and residential ground up building.  Exciting stuff!

SWA Architecture were hired to be the designers, architects and expediters.  This is the first time we have worked with these clients with this development and we hope to be a part of many more beautiful projects with them after this one.

That's it this week for the SWA Architecture weekly blog.  We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.  We will periodically check in on this project as it progresses giving you a first hand experience in how a project is developed to completion.  Also, give us a follow on instagram if you haven't already - @swa_architecture

Hello and welcome back to the SWA Architecture weekly blog.  We are very excited to bring you a special bonus post giving you an update on 4 St Marks.  We looked at this spot last month, but so much has been done that we had to show it again.

A brief refresher on this bad boy.  This spot is also know as the Hamilton House.  Constructed in the East Village in 1833.  A glorious year.  It was designated to a landmark building in 2004.  Another glorious year.

SWA Architecture are the architects, designers, expediters and landmark applicants for this building.  we have two floors for retail, a rear addition, we inserted 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.

This is the fourth time looking at the place and as you can tell it is very close to being completed.  In fact, we are told it will be done in about a month so we will certainly show all of you the completed project.  Take a look at the previous posts of this project to really get a sense of what is has become.  We are very proud of this project and eager to see it done.

That's it this week for the bonus post from SWA.  Stay tuned next week for some amazing projects.  Also, give us a follow on instagram - @swa_architecture

SWA Architecture Weekly Blog

Hello and welcome back to the SWA Architecture weekly blog post.  This blog is unique in the sense that we take an architectural look at projects that SWA Architecture has been a part of.  We do all sorts of projects ranging from sidewalk cafes to restaurants to bars to even hotels.  Most of our projects are in New York but we have done projects all over the greater Northeast area of the United States.

This week we are taking a look at a project that has the same ownership group as the project we did last week.  If you haven't read last week's post take a look, we covered Bourbon St Bar and Grille.  This week we are taking a look at Legends, located at 6 W. 33rd Street in Manhattan.  Legends is a classy spot with elaborate interiors including vaulted ceilings, dark-stained pine, cushioned booths, and a low-lit, folded napkin restaurant.  Legends is known for hosting great crowds for English Premiere league soccer games as well as other sporting events.

SWA Architecture is responsible for the architecture, designers, planners and expediters for this location.  Exactly like the other Allied Management spot we looked at last week.  We thoroughly enjoy working with them and look forward to future projects with them.

That's it this week for the SWA Architecture weekly blog post.  Stay tuned for a possible bonus post coming later this week.  Also, give us a follow on instagram and get our following up - @swa_architecture
