***Breathing new life into a vacant corner of East Harlem Tackling complex construction challenges head-on, the Affect team collaborated with expert specialty trades to deliver innovative solutions for a $9.3M residential project at 1638 Park Avenue, NY. This project brought new sleek and modern, much-needed housing to a community in Harlem NYC, including six affordable units within the 26-unit building. From groundbreaking in June 2022 to substantial completion in November 2023, the team stayed on course to achieve TCO by January 2024. Addressing the site’s environmental and logistical demands required in-depth coordination across disciplines. From advanced acoustic and environmental standards to the careful selection of materials, every aspect was meticulously managed. An integrated design and build approach guided the development to completion, resulting in a community-focused space that revitalizes its urban surroundings. “The team at Affect delivered this project on budget whilst maintaining to the strict 24-month schedule” - Ed Procter, Associate Director at Gardiner & Theobald Inc. ‘We are builders, thinkers, and makers’ - find out how our team addressed challenges with innovative solutions, strategic planning, and a focus on quality: https://lnkd.in/ezvWBkCm The Team: Architect of Record (AOR): Marin Architects Structural Engineer: Murray Engineering PC MEP-FP Engineer: TSF Engineering, P.C.

This week, we're highlighting our past work in affordable and market-rate housing, including the development at 150 Van Cortlandt Avenue in the Bronx. Partnering with The Stagg Group, Marin Architects designed this mixed-use residential building to address the growing need for accessible housing options for New Yorkers priced out of Manhattan and Brooklyn. 150 Van Cortlandt Avenue project addresses a critical need for affordable housing by delivering 163 residential units paired with over 5,000 square feet of community space. Designed to maximize density while adhering to New York Housing and Preservation Development (HPD) standards, the building provides both affordable and market-rate options that will serve an ever-growing community with different demands. Located near two major MTA subway tunnels, the project required significant structural innovation and careful coordination with permitting agencies. One of these tunnels passes directly beneath the site, requiring rigorous structural engineering to meet both safety standards and the challenges posed by this location. Additionally, to expedite the construction process, a Girder Slab System was used in place of the more traditional concrete/precast block system. This system uses off-site precast components to decrease construction time. It combines a lightweight structural steel system with composite floor and ceiling slabs. Its low profile is ideal for the relatively low ceiling heights of high-rise residential buildings and the underside of the slabs is unobstructed leading to ease of mechanical and electrical design and placement. Marin Architects is proud to contribute to the Bronx's future, delivering accessible housing that reflects sophisticated and ingenious design for the benefit of the community. We look forward to continuing our work in this sector.
