Glenridge Mews
Glenridge
Mews
is
a
65
unit
condominium
located
in
Ridgewood,
Queens,
New
York.
Developed
on
the
site
of
the
former
Dietz
Coal
Yard,
approximately
half
of
the
existing
buildings
have
been
retained
and
altered
into
duplex
apartments
with
exciting
living
spaces.
The
remainder
are
in
two
new
buildings.
A
six
story
building
was
designed
to
replace
the
original
coal
silos
which
were
demolished.
A
three
story
building
was
integrated
as
contextual
infill
along
Fresh
Pond
Road.
Portions
of
the
existing
buildings
were
demolished
in
order
to
create
the
"mews".
The
skeletal
remains
of
old
masonry
walls
define
areas
within
the
mews.
Many
of
the
ground
floor
apartments
have
gardens.
In
1990,
ARCT
received
First
Prize
For
Excellence
in
Design
from
Borough
of
Queens
Chamber
of
Commerce.
The
project
also
received
a
Building
Award
from
the
Queens
County
Builders
and
Contractors
Association the same year.

a
result
of
this
project,
the

received
the
Murray Hill Committee’s Building Design Award in 1995.
Devonshire House
Devonshire
House
is
the
restoration
and
renovation
of
a
1928
Emery
Roth
designed
apartment
building.
Larger
apartments
were
created
by
combining
several
existing
units,
with
the
goal
being
to
create
a
cohesive
whole,
appearing
to
have
been
designed
as
an
intentional
composition,
not
a
sum
of
old
and
new
parts.
Working
in
conjunction
with
renown
interior
designer,
Victoria
Hagan
,
the
resulting
design
has
achieved
its
purpose
in
producing a successful project during difficult economic times.

apartment
building.
As
with

several
existing
units,
In
addition,
two
new
stories
have
been
added
above
the

life
to
the
building and its surrounding neighborhood.

Principals
ALAN G. ROSE, A. I. A.
The
primary
goal
that
Mr.
Rose
has
established

to
understand
the
problems
and
needs
of
the
client
and,
working
closely
with
the
client,
to
accommodate those needs with a physical solution through cost effective design.
Before

Architecture
with
Carmen

in
1986,
Mr.
Rose
had
been
a
principal
with
Stephen
B.
Jacobs
and
Associates.
His
extensive
experience
with
residential
developments
and

reuse
has
led
to
several
commissions
for
ARCT,
including
the
recycling
of
the
Dietz
Coalyard
in
Ridgewood,
New
York
into
Glenridge
Mews,
an
innovative
award
winning
residential
complex
of
sixty-five
apartment
units,
Other
projects
include
a
low
cost
seventy-three
unit
planned
residential
development
in
Vineland,
New
Jersey,
the
complete
interior
refurbishing
of
twelve
floors
of
a
major
non-profit
New
York
City
nursing
home,
the
adaptive
reuse
of
an
existing
factory
building
in
Astoria,
Queens
to
a
shopping
center,
the
design
of
several
medical
office
suites,
and
many
custom
residences.
More
recently,
ARCT
was
selected
as
architect
for
the
renovation
Devonshire
House;
a
1928
Emery
Roth
designed
apartment
building
in

are
