How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
The conversion of Artist Lofts as described in the NYC Department of Building Code is different than most people think.
It depends on one of several categories of zoning restrictions the address is considered to be existing under and if it is subject to change of use and/or occupancy. You need to know your Lot and Block number and reference it with the Department of Buiding Website.
An Architect or Expeditor is the best choice to consult as the laws are tricky when it comes to conversions.
What’s your interior design process?
We always meet with the client and establish a Program or wish list for the project they intend on doing.
