SWA Architecture Weekly Blog

Hello and welcome back to an all new special Friday rollin' blog coming your way from SWA Architecture.  Earlier this week we took a look at a new beautiful building being erected at 86 Delancey.  This special post is giving you an update on a project we looked at about a month ago.

I am of course speaking of the project located at 12 W 19th Street.  Last time we took a look this project it was just beginning the undergoing its restoration.  As you can tell by the photos now it still has a long way to go but it coming along very nicely.

This project is located in the "Ladies Mile" district.  For those of you unaware of what this district is, here is a brief refresher on the subject.  The "Ladies Mile" was a prime shopping district in Manhattan at the end of the 19th century, serving well to do 'carriage trade' of the city.  It extends roughly 15th street to 24th street and from park avenue south to west of 6th Avenue.

SWA Architecture are the architects, interior designers, expediters and landmarks architects for this historical building.  This is our first job with this client and hope to do more with them in the future.  This is our sixth project with Streamline Worldwide General Contractors.  We have a great relationship with this contracting company.  Lastly, this is our third project in the "Ladies Mile" district and we are very proud of all of them.

That's it for this weeks SWA Architecture weekly blog.  Stay tuned for some great posts coming your way next.  Give us a follow on instagram to see all our beautiful projects - @swa_architecture and like the pictures you see!
