Boris Baranovich Architects, P.C.

Architecture in New York often gets boxed into glass towers or brownstone facades, but some firms work on quieter scales. Boris Baranovich Architects, P.C. handles residential renovations, small commercial builds, and zoning variances from an office on the second floor of 172 Lexington Avenue. The block, between 30th and 31st Streets, keeps a mix of old garment-district lofts and newer infill, so the context is already a lesson in urban layering.

Drawing sets, permit applications, and site meetings fill most days. Clients bring anything from a cramped kitchen reconfiguration to a full gut renovation; the practice also steps in when a landmarked facade needs restoration or a new stairwell must thread through existing beams. Zoning diagrams and material samples stay visible in the workflow, though you won’t see them from the street.

Murray Hill’s sidewalks are narrow, so deliveries and walk-throughs require coordination. The firm’s address—172 Lexington Ave floor 2, New York, NY 10016—puts it close enough to the 6 train at 28th Street and the N, R, W at 23rd, making client visits straightforward. When questions arise, the number to call is (212) 627-1150.
