For the new home of the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, the team is transforming a century-old church overlooking Central Park into a seven-story, interactive learning lab for the children and families of New York City. The project will restore and revitalize the building, honoring its historic form while adding contemporary elements to improve functionality, circulation, and accessibility.
The space will feature hands-on experiences, immersive exhibits, a rooftop terrace with Central Park views, a café, performance space, and museum store. When completed in 2028, it will not only double the museum’s physical capacity but also enable the museum to expand its age range to birth to 10 years old.

A new chapter begins for one of Brooklyn’s most recognizable church buildings. This project transforms the former Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church into the base of a new residential tower, bringing new life to the building while adding much-needed housing. The historic structure is reactivated at street level with retail and community space, with 200+ homes above, including permanently affordable units.
