Boneau Design Inc.
About
What happens when a classic Upper East Side brownstone meets a ground-up glass tower? Architecture firms in this pocket of Manhattan have spent decades answering that question, balancing historic facades with contemporary interiors. Boneau Design Inc. operates from 140 E 92nd St #4n, where the street’s pre-war rhythm still sets the design tempo. Residential renovations, zoning variances, and full-building commissions keep the drafting tables busy without straying far from the neighborhood’s signature limestone and brick palette.
Urban infill projects demand a sharp eye for light angles and setback lines—two elements that change block by block above 90th Street. The firm’s portfolio often reflects the area’s mix of co-ops, townhouses, and new-construction condos, each requiring permits that navigate the Landmarks Preservation Commission as smoothly as the Department of Buildings. A quick walk east reveals how local architects have turned narrow lots into airy duplexes, a trick that relies on precise floor-plan diagrams and material samples that never leave the office.
For schematics or a feasibility chat, ring (917) 673-4009. Directions to the studio can be pulled from the map here. If the sidewalk scaffolding on 92nd is any indication, the block’s next transformation is already underway.
