Originally designed in 1929 by Halsey, McCormack and Helmer for the Williamsburgh Savings Bank with a distinctly Art Deco splendor, the landmark designated One Hanson Place experienced a recent architectural Renaissance.
Acheson Doyle Partners Architects led the renovation and selective demolition of One Hanson Place in Brooklyn, New York. The 63-foot-high banking hall with arched entryway was restored and the vault was renovated for commercial retail use. Acheson Doyle Partners Architects successfully navigated the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission review process and obtained necessary approvals for this Interior Landmarked project.
The full scope of this project involved implementing historically sensitive modifications to the historic bank vault, teller cages, and lobby to prepare the magnificent space for retail and events.
During construction, the scope of work was modified by the Owner to accommodate potential tenants. ADP worked closely with construction management to ensure costs were controlled and the project schedule was kept on track while implementing these changes.
