Kossar & Garry Architect

Designing a New York loft or gut-renovating a pre-war co-op takes more than sketches. Kossar & Garry Architect handles the zoning variances, landmark approvals, and contractor bids that most homeowners never see. Their office sits on the 12th floor at 115 W 30th St #1201, a block where garment-district grit meets midtown steel. Architects here tend to specialize in residential remodels, boutique hotels, and adaptive-reuse projects that keep historic facades intact while modernizing everything behind them.

Drop by the Flatiron-adjacent address during weekday business hours, or reach out by phone at (212) 947-6161 to set up an initial site walk. They’ll walk you through feasibility studies, construction documents, and permit expediting without ever stepping into the jargon trap that plagues larger firms. For directions, pull up the map here—the elevator lobby is shared with a fabric wholesaler, so don’t expect a brass plaque.
