Forbes-Ergas Featured by Wesbuilt: Two Upper East Side Lobby Renovations
Forbes-Ergas Design Associates’ work at 333 East 79th Street and 340 East 80th Street is featured on contractor Wesbuilt’s website in its “First Ave Lobby” project profile.
The following summarizes and paraphrases Wesbuilt’s project description.
A Coordinated Transformation
The dual lobby renovation brought together updated entrance glazing, wallcoverings, marble flooring, and lighting to create contemporary common spaces. Wesbuilt credits Forbes-Ergas with the design, which also incorporated built-in millwork and a concierge desk combining woodwork and stone.
Beyond its appearance, the desk accommodated property-management technology, integrating practical requirements into the overall design.
Planning Around Residents
Renovating an occupied building requires careful coordination. According to Wesbuilt, construction was organized into four phases to limit disruption to daily life and support resident safety throughout the work.
The project illustrates how interior design and construction planning work together to improve shared spaces while accounting for the people who use them every day.
