The amendments seek to protect the vitally important Manhattan based industries from the effects of unbridled conversion of loft buildings to residential use. Concurrently, additional opportunities are provided for housing in areas where residential use will not have an adverse impact on the City's economy. The zoning map changes define current manufacturing districts, create new mixed use districts, and remap a manufacturing district to commercial. The text changes establish standards for the conversion of non-residential buildings to residential use outside the manufacturing districts. The text changes also provide a mechanism for relocation assistance for industrial uses displaced by conversion when they relocate in New York City. BACKGROUND In adopting the 1961 zoning ordinance, the Board of Estimate-- sought to ensure "that sufficient space will be available for use for manufacturing and related activities". Large areas of Manhattan which were occupied by industrial uses were mapped manufacturing. Other areas with significant industrial activity were mapped commercial, because they were adjacent to the central business districts or residential areas. The industrial uses in these commercial areas were expected to decrease over time. The first major review of this policy was undertaken in 1963. In response to the proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway, and to the sug- gestion that the area between Broome and Houston Streets be cleared for high-rise housing, Chester Rapkin was commissioned to study the S.

It is not possible, nor is it intended that this booklet should cover every aspect of the design. Primarily, it's purpose is to highlight the basic design considerations which need to be addressed. Specific technical detail has largely been omitted due to the criteria being subject to frequent change. If the proposal involves the conversion of a loft space above a bungalow, the fire safety provisions indicated in section 4:00 are not applicable, other than the arrangement of inner rooms. 1:20 For the purposes of this guidance, it is assumed the proposed conversion will not: (a) exceed 50 m2 in floor area, (b) involve raising the roof line above the existing ridge level, and (c) contain more that two habitable rooms, on the new second storey.

  • Steps to Planning and Costing a Loft Conversion Uncovering Your Loft’S True Potential Can Be Tricky – Especially If All It Has Been So Far Is Rarely Visited Storage
    LOFT CONVERSIONS Look at what you’ve got To ensure your space is worth converting, and to make it viable as a functioning and practical room, you ideally need the highest point to be at least 2.2m. There should be enough space to fit a new staircase – preferably within the existing landing area on the first floor – and a new landing into the loft rooom. Next, look at the roof. The gradient of its slope should be analysed, explains Sarah Livesey, director at Econoloft, as this will not only dictate the type of conversion possible, but also the finished layout. Generally speaking, the higher the pitch the taller the ceiling, and the more floor space you’ll have to work with. Anything above 30 degrees is workable. If you don’t have much head height, it’s still possible to convert – either by lowering the floor, raising the roof, or altering the shape of it by extending – but the project will cost more. To gain space, think about relocating a water tank if this is housed in the loft. Though 1you may need to install a new boiler or water system anyway if your existing plumbing can’t cope with serving additional rooms. If the loft has a chimneybreast, you may prefer to have it demolished if it will obstruct the layout. “Remember – this will impact the structural stability of the whole property, so it needs to be carefully managed with input from a structural engineer,” says Sarah. “Externally, check the condition of your roof tiles. If you need to re-tile or make repairs, do it as part of the conversion process.” 10STEPS TO PLANNING AND COSTING A LOFT CONVERSION Uncovering your loft’s true potential can be tricky – especially if all it has been so far is rarely visited storage.

On a new dwelling it will maximise use of the built volume and bring down Uthe average cost per square metre. In an existing home, converting the loft is often the most cost-effective way to add space. There are two main options when it comes to design: to commission an architectural designer to produce drawings which can then be put out to builders on a competitive tender basis, or to hand the whole project over to a design and build contractor offering a one-stop service. Both will deal with planning permission, if required, and Building Regulations approval. Think 1 Ahead Designing a roof with future conversion in mind will allow for the expansion of living space should demand arise. Specifying either a cut roof or attic trusses instead of ‘fink’ trusses will add £1,500-2,000 to the average build cost but hugely simplify the conversion process.

  • Lofts Narrative
    Joseph Pell Lombardi, Architect LOFTS Pioneering in the Urban Wilderness -- Title of a 1977 book by James Stratton INTRODUCTION “He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion. Uh, no, make it he, he, romanticized it all out of proportion”. --The movie Manhattan by Woody Allen I have always sought out the older, forsaken buildings of New York City. In the 1940s and 1950s, as a child, I observed the then deteriorating residential areas of Harlem. In the 1960s, as a young architect, preservationist and investor, I became immersed in restoring multi-tenant rooming houses back to one family townhouses in the Upper West Side and the Kips Bay/Murray Hill areas of Manhattan. At the beginning of the 1970s, as I began to discover the fading magnifi cent commercial buildings of lower Manhattan, my focus shifted to converting warehouse and commercial buildings to residential use. At that time, lower Manhattan had hundreds of spectacular buildings which were physically and economically distressed. Like the townhouses of the 1960s, exploring lower Manhattan was the discovery of treasures; behind the beautiful, but dusty and poorly maintained, facades of lower Manhattan were magnifi cent lobbies, high ceilinged spaces with large windows, top fl oors with multiple skylights and, often, fully detailed interiors -- it was a preservation architect’s dream. At fi rst there was little competition in the residential conversion fi eld from other architects because it was an off -beat specialty consisting less of conventional architecture and more about preservation, retrofi tting, zoning obstacles and building code issues. It was also a waiting opportunity.
