From Cluttered Past to Community Wellness: Transforming an Apartment into a Fitness Space Adaptive reuse isn’t always about grand historic buildings—it’s about seeing potential where others see limitations. In today's project, we were tasked with evaluating a sponsor-owned apartment in a residential building after its longtime tenant, an elderly resident, passed away. The unit had been left in a severely neglected state, filled with years of accumulated belongings. Rather than simply restoring it as another rental, the building ownership saw an opportunity to enhance the property’s amenities by converting the space into a fitness center for residents. At Mayta + Sebastian Architecture DPC, we led the transformation by analyzing multiple potential units to determine the best one for conversion. Our team carefully assessed layout feasibility, HVAC and exhaust system upgrades required for a gym, and the overall impact on the building’s infrastructure. Our Approach: ?? Strategic Space Planning – We compared two available units to determine which was best suited for conversion into a gym while preserving the other for rental or resale. ?? Systems Upgrades – A key challenge was adapting residential HVAC and exhaust systems to meet the ventilation and climate control needs of a gym environment. ?? Full-Service Design – From lighting and finishes to space layout and branding, we designed an open, inviting gym featuring a dedicated yoga room, cardio area, and strength training zone. ?? Seamless Execution – As the building’s architects, we provided comprehensive documentation and coordination to ensure a smooth renovation process. This project is a testament to how adaptive reuse can enhance community spaces in meaningful ways. By converting an underutilized unit into a wellness-focused amenity, the building now offers residents a modern, purpose-driven space that adds long-term value. #AdaptiveReuse #FitnessDesign #BuildingRenovation #ArchitectureInAction #MaytaSebastianArchitecture #BuildingUpgrades #ResidentAmenities #propertymanagers #buildingowners

Women belong in construction. From architects to engineers, project managers to field experts, women are shaping the built environment and transforming the construction industry every day. Their expertise, resilience, and leadership drive innovation, sustainability, and progress. At Mayta + Sebastian Architecture, we are proud to champion diversity and inclusion in an industry that thrives on different perspectives. We believe that empowering women in architecture and construction is not just the right thing to do, it’s essential for the future of our cities and communities. To the incredible women at M+S and beyond: we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you. Your dedication makes this industry stronger, and your contributions inspire the next generation of leaders. ??♀?

Future-Proofing Our Cities: Beyond Compliance, Toward Performance As we gear up for World Energy Efficiency Day, we reflect on the responsibility we hold as architects, engineers, and stewards of the built environment. Buildings are not just structures; they are dynamic ecosystems that consume energy, impact carbon emissions, and shape the health of our communities. With NYC’s Local Law 97 (LL97) setting emissions limits for buildings over 25,000 square feet, compliance is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. But at Mayta + Sebastian Architecture, we see this law as an opportunity, not just a regulation. Fixing vs. Future-Proofing In our work, we don’t just repair buildings—we future-proof them. Our expertise in building envelopes, forensic architecture, and advanced technology allows us to rethink how existing structures perform. Every retrofit we design is an investment in energy efficiency, resilience, and long-term sustainability—because a building that simply meets today’s standards may still fall short tomorrow. Beyond Compliance: A Commitment to Change #Local Law 97 isn’t just about avoiding penalties—it’s about transforming our built environment for the better. At Mayta + Sebastian, we are inherently invested in this mission, because we believe that every project is a chance to make a lasting impact—not just on the skyline, but on the planet. This World Energy Efficiency Day, let’s not just talk about change. Let’s build it. #WorldEnergyEfficiencyDay #SustainableArchitecture #FutureProofing #LocalLaw97 #BuildingPerformance #EnergyEfficiency #CarbonNeutral #GreenBuildings #ResilientDesign #propertymanagers #buildingowners?
