The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) seeks to undertake a comprehensive renovation project for the residential property located at 29 Beekman Place in New York City.

Built in 1910, the property is a seven-story, one-family townhouse, featuring a cellar and a sub-cellar. While it has recently undergone a white-box renovation, further enhancements are required to meet the quality standards necessary for its intended use. This project also presents an opportunity to design and customize the currently unfinished wet areas to align with the FCDO's preferences and requirements.
Main objectives of the project:
> Create a new layout for ancillary spaces and all bedrooms.
> Design and install a new semi-professional kitchen and a family kitchen/kitchenette within the private quarters.
> Integrate a new dumbwaiter to facilitate seamless service between public spaces and back-of-house areas.
> Implement new surface finishes and lighting design/fixtures throughout the entire residence, where existing is not suitable.
> Design and install new window treatments for the entire residence.
> Implement a Waterproofing system to prevent water ingress into the property
> Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance where feasible.
