  • BROOKLYN ROASTING COMPANY

    COMMERCIAL BROOKLYN ROASTING COMPANY PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Cypher Design PROJECT LOCATION Brooklyn Navy Yard, Building 123 PROJECT SIZE 16,000 SF PROJECT COST ​ SCOPE Full MEP design and construction administration services. HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration When an established Brooklyn based coffee company decided to consolidate its roasting and shipping under one roof, they retained Morozov Engineering to help them bring their vision to reality. Founded in 2009 in a Brooklyn loft, artisanal coffee purveyor- Brooklyn Roasting Company- has consistently been ranked as top 5 coffee places in Brooklyn (Yelp), one of 10 best coffee shops on New York City (Gothamist) and best local brew of 2015 (Gothamist). BRC prides itself on sourcing locally grown, organic fair trade coffee beans. It is no surprise they decided to locally source engineering services as well. BRC came to Morozov because their previous consultant was not responsive to their needs and was too expensive. Brooklyn Navy Yard is a former US Navy shipbuilding yard spanning 300 acres on the East River in Wallabout Basin. Following its closure in the mid 60’s, the yard was re-opened in 1969 as an industrial park. Since 1989, the site has seen economic development spurred by the city’s investment. Today, more than 200 businesses operate at the yard and employ about 5,000 people. Brooklyn Roasting Company decided to take up a 16,000 SF space in the Navy Yard to consolidate its roasting operations. On most projects, clients come to their engineers with defined design criteria. In the case of BRC, the client did not know how to best program the their new facility. There were plans for an office, packing, roasting, and shipping and even performance space functions. Our engineers worked closely with the client and architect to learn BRC’s business model, ins and outs of a coffee roasting process and the client’s future plans in order to help the client define present and future performance requirements of the space. MOROZOV was retained to provide consulting, engineering design and construction administration services for BRC’s new facility. The project involved specialty HVAC systems for coffee roasting production plant. MOROZOV prepared documents for State Historic Preservation Office filing.

  • FASHION TOWER

    COMMERCIAL FASHION TOWER PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT GRT Architects PROJECT LOCATION 135 West 36th Street, New York, NY PROJECT SIZE ​ PROJECT COST ​ SCOPE ​ GRT Architects recently completed the renovation and historic restoration of Fashion Tower, an Art Deco-era skyscraper in New York’s Garment District. The building was designed by Emery Roth, best known for his iconic pre-war residential towers including the San Remo and Beresford. Among the many buildings in what was once the epicenter of American clothing design and manufacturing, Fashion Tower is unique for its ornamental motifs referencing the apparel industry and for being occupied to this day by the garment trade. Motivated by the resurgence of the Fashion District and the building’s unique history, the current owner asked GRT Architects to restore the facade of the tower’s base while sensitively incorporating a contemporary lobby. ​ Guided by Roth’s original drawings archived at Columbia University’s Avery Library, GRT Architects restored the exterior of Fashion Tower to its original splendor. Earlier renovations obscured a figured sandstone facade with layers of grey stucco and destroyed intricate detailing at the entry. Into a restored carved stone archway, GRT Architects added a minimal all-glass entry set back from the line of the masonry. True to Roth’s intentions, this portal is once again flanked by polychrome terracotta panels with peacock motifs— symbols of apparel, elegance and style. These peacocks rejoin surviving ornament that include winged putti holding shears and draping fabric, and women admiring their reflections and clutching spindles. A delicate façade cleaning revealed a richly veined sandstone cladding and forensic paint analysis was used to bring the appearance of cast iron spandrels and window frames back to the original. Inside, GRT Architects extended Roth’s stylized celebration of the fashion industry with a double-height lobby clad in pleated calacatta marble and bronze-tinted aluminium. The geometry of the lobby wall nods to folds in fabric while the scale and material palette play on the delicate balance between imposing and intimate that is a hallmark of New York Art Deco. Off-site CNC fabrication and on-site handcraft was used to realize a contemporary design in a classic material. Drawing upon the building’s history to prepare it for the next hundred years of service, the renovation reasserts the importance of fashion and style in a dynamic neighborhood.

  • 2 BUSHWICK AVENUE

    COMMERCIAL 2 BUSHWICK AVENUE PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT ​ PROJECT LOCATION 2 Bushwick Avenue, Brooklyn PROJECT SIZE ​ PROJECT COST ​ SCOPE ​ 2 Bushwick Avenue is a 14,000 SF ground up retail and office building being constructed on a site of a former gas station and auto repair shop. The corner site sits in a prime location of a rapidly gentrifying creative hipster mecca. The developers were interested in attracting local nascent businesses by creating affordable flexible spaces. Before commencing with design, Morozov engaged with the owners and architects in the programming phase, to understand how the property will be positioned in the market and who will be the target tenants. The early-phase involvement informed the selection of suitable MEP systems. With careful system selection and sizing, the design team was able to strike a balance between considerations for the first cost, ease-of-use, flexibility and “curb” appeal to prospective tenants. ​

  • PARRISH ART MUSEUM

    CULTURAL PARRISH ART MUSEUM PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Herzog De Meuron, Douglas Moyer PROJECT LOCATION 279 Montauk Highway, Water Mill, NY PROJECT SIZE 34,000 SF PROJECT COST $ 30 million SCOPE Full HVAC design (as design engineer at Buro Happold) “Inspired by the natural setting and artistic life of Long Island’s East End, the Parrish Art Museum illuminates the creative process and how art and artists transform our experiences and understanding of the world and how we live in it. The Museum fosters connections among individuals, art, and artists through care and interpretation of the collection, the presentation of exhibitions, publications, educational initiatives, programs, and artists-in-residence” Born in 1897 as the Art Museum at Southampton, it was established by a New York lawyer, Samuel Longstreth Parrish, to house his holdings of Italian Renaissance paintings and 19th-century plaster casts; both the building and the collection were given to the Village of Southampton after his death. In the 1950s a local philanthropist, Rebecca Bolling Littlejohn, chartered the museum as an independent entity, named it for Mr. Parrish, and endowed it with her own collection of American painting, rich in work by Impressionists like Chase and Childe Hassam, as well as local artists of the era, like Fairfield Porter and Larry Rivers. Once home to Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Roy Lichtenstein, among many others, the area has been an artists’ colony since the 19th century. Today’s residents, full time or seasonal, include Chuck Close, April Gornik, Eric Fischl, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, and Donald Sultan, as well as many more lesser-known names. In 2005 the Museum purchased fourteen acres in Water Mill, New York, and the Board of Trustees selected the internationally celebrated architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron to design a new and expanded building there. Ground was broken in July 2010, and the 34,400 square-foot building opened to the public November 10, 2012. Drawing inspiration from local barn houses, Herzog de Meuron envisioned a single-story structure — 94 feet wide and 634 feet long — with the building’s galleries arranged in two rows along a central corridor, designed for flexibility, with temporary walls so that the size of the rooms can be adjusted. The building is covered by two parallel pitched roofs — one for each row — with north-facing windows that take full advantage of the soft northern light. The building doubled the size of the existing facility with 12,000 square feet of flexible galleries, including the first galleries dedicated to permanent collection. The museum includes educational and multi-purpose spaces, café and kitchen. The design incorporates administrative offices and onsite space for storage and care of the permanent collection. To support the architect’s vision for a clean minimalist building, all mechanical equipment was tucked away in the cellar and crawl spaces. As part of design team at Buro Happold’s New York office, Mr. Morozov conceived a geothermal heating and cooling plant that took advantage of high water table below the site. Geothermal water was pumped from 6 standing column wells, circulated through reversible heat pump chillers and dumped into 6 discharge wells downstream. The reversible chillers use ground source water to generate 45-degree water in the summer and 85-degree water in the winter. For even better energy efficiency the heat pump chillers were paired with displacement ventilation. Unlike overhead air supply, displacement ventilation air cools or heats the space with moderately cool or warm air. Custom air-handlers also were located in the cellar spaces. Air distribution was limited to building’s perimeter with supply ducts running in the oversized crawl space.

  • 347 WEST END AVENUE

    RESIDENTIAL 347 WEST END AVENUE PREVIOUS PROJECT NEXT PROJECT ARCHITECT Lamb & Rich PROJECT LOCATION ​ PROJECT SIZE ​ PROJECT COST ​ SCOPE MEP engineering design This Eclectic Renaissance/Revival building was designed with a limestone façade and gabled tile roof by famed architects Lamb & Rich as part of an original row of 14 houses in 1891. The home’s first owner was Charles F. Rand who made his fortune in the mining industry in Cuba and Spain. In the 1950’s, the property was converted to nine apartments, and now the new owners are converting back to a single family residence. The scope of the conversion included an additional set back fifth floor, with an elevator overrun, roof bulkhead, and copper and glass skylight atop it. The current three-story-tall projecting rear yard addition will be demolished and replaced with a four-story-tall rear yard addition. A Juliette balcony, clad in copper, will jut out just into the canopy of a 130- to 140-year-old cherry tree. This is Morozov’s third project along the historic West End Avenue ( 915 West End Avenue and 309 West 86th Street ) Morozov team worked closely with the architect to thoughtfully integrate new infrastructure into the existing historic shell. Morozov provided MEP engineering design and approval services for all mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems.
