The Admiral's House, Governor's Island

Built in 1843 in the Greek Revival style by renowned architect Martin Thompson, the Admiral’s House served as residence for the Commanding Officer for both the Army and the Coast Guard on Governor's Island until 1996. Designated a New York City landmark in 1967, the building is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

We conducted a comprehensive building assessment and prepared design renovations that aimed to preserve the historic character of the Admiral’s House while transforming it into an event space. The project scope included upgrading all utilities to be code-compliant, remediating past water damage, and adaptively reusing the interiors for conferences and catered events.
