The $1 million 4,000 SF facility included back office operations and required electrical, HVAC, and lighting design as well. All engineering, construction and NYC permitting and inspections were managed professionally and efficiently by GSA. GSA was flexible and responsive to our requests. It was a pleasure to work with the firm. We highly recommend GSA for any of your design and/or architecture needs. **★★★★★ — Yael Natori, March 2019** > We loved working with Adam and Lauren as our architects. Young, hip, parents to similar aged children, they really understood our needs and desires as a young family who wanted a home that was aesthetically beautiful but also truly live-able. They were practical with great taste in decor and design. Easy to talk with, responsive, professional, stylish and kind! **★★★★★ — Marianne Soderberg, Feb. 2019** > I contractred Glickman Schlesinger Architects to redo my bathroom. They were of great help both with all practical matters and gving me some good ideas. > The project took place in the summer 2018 and their cost was reasonable. **★★★★★ — Ji Park, Feb. 2019** > Best team ever! > High quality architectural firm and team! > They handled my project excellently and is always available to deal with all issues in a most courteous and professional way. I highly recommend them! > Please reach out to me if you would like to see their beautiful work! **★★★★★ — jemd10017, March 2015** > Total transformation of two Tudor City apts., from traditional conservative to hyper chic. Lauren and Adam are wizards at re-envisioning space with an amazing combination of practicality and beauty. Attention to detail, care for the work, new and fresh ideas and a top notch style and taste. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, closet space, floors, woodwork, flow, lighting, A/V, all woven together into a showcase apt. that is a pleasure to walk into on a daily basis (and show off to friends and family). **★★★★★ — michealcioffi, March 2015** > I hired Glickman and Schlesinger Architects to help redesign a Diner that I own. > They were simply fantastic. They came up with simple and creative solutions to some of our very tricky design problems. They also we very sensitive to our budget. > They are great, > > Mike Cioffi > Phoenicia Diner **★★★★★ — nycmom, March 2015** > GSDO renovated our 3-bedroom Manhattan condo with new kitchen, three bathrooms, built-ins, doors and other elements. The result was fabulous. Every room ties together; and the design is flawless. We wanted modern but not severely so; we wanted functionality and got a kitchen with a place for everything; we wanted modern bathrooms with colorful tiles and we wanted much better lighting throughout. We are so happy living in our new space. As for GSDO's professionalism, Lauren had great taste, was kind, smart, observant, a great listener, and patient with us first-time renovators. We highly recommend GSDO. **★★★★★ — mactoledo, March 2015** > We did an extensive owner duplex townhouse renovation wherein the use of the floors were flipped (living space moved upstairs, bedrooms downstairs). We also added 2 bedrooms to now have a 3 bedroom / 2 bath space (was 1 bed / 2 bath). Their suggestions unlocked the potential of the house and transformed our living experience. We get so much light in our living space now and walk into an expansive living/dining area that allows us to see and enjoy the outdoor space from our main floor. The downstairs/basement where there is less light and height is now so much more suited to sleeping. > > With professional hires, I've always found that most have a tendency to nickel and dime or up charge especially with change orders. Lauren and Adam were especially generous with their time and talent while staying within budget. No question or concern was too small and I really am extremely thankful that you've connected us with them. We are looking to do phase 2 (outdoors!) and will definitely hire them again. > > As to be expected, there were a few curve balls throughout the project all were handled extremely well by Lauren and Adam. I really felt they cared and owned the relationship with the contractor. With changes through the project I also felt they treated us fairly and with respect. They were always on top of our questions and were good at communication, especially Lauren. We had a tight budget and they offered creative solutions that worked within our constraints. ## Selected projects - [East End Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-end-avenue-pj-vj~2734130) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 8 - [East Village High Rise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-village-high-rise-pj-vj~2734077) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 7 - [Williamsburg Loft No. 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/williamsburg-loft-no-1-pj-vj~812618) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: Factory turned apartment in Brooklyn NY - [Williamsburg Rental Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/williamsburg-rental-apartment-pj-vj~422074) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: This circa 1900 paper doily factory in Brooklyn NY sat dormant for over 10 years.

Its top is made up of wide solid boards, in walnut, oak, or reclaimed pine, with slender legs of steel, blackened or polished. Its stance is wider than its cousin, but Skinny hides its strength in the same way, its structure seemingly non-existent. 36” wide by 76” long by 29” tall. Available in custom sizes as well. Prices available upon request.

By taking advantage of the strength of steel legs and a thick solid wood slab, the bulk of the table’s structure is concealed and only the elegant lines of the top and legs remain. Two openings in the tabletop highlight the seamless joining of the wood and metal and bring the beauty of the wood’s end grain to the center of the table. At the same time, the slo… - [Williamsburg Owner Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/williamsburg-owner-apartment-pj-vj~422135) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: This circa 1900 paper doily factory in Brooklyn NY sat dormant for over 10 years.

When shopping for the apartment, the couple needed to stay close to the husband’s work in order for him to easily come home during lunchtime to help his wife, who is in a wheelchair. The only apartments available were in typical 1960’s apartment towers, where the apartments consist of small rooms, narrow hallways, and… - [UN Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/un-apartment-pj-vj~97871) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 8 - Description: In 2006, Glickman Schlesinger Architects gut-renovated this Tudor City apartment, converting a two-bedroom into a one-bedroom apartment with an office and sleeping area to meet the owner’s needs.
