Overview

Owner Ted Kilcommons first worked with Garrett Leight California Optical in 2014 on its New York City debut: their SoHo flagship build-out. He brought the brand's sculptural design to life through agile problem-solving and close coordination between the California millworker and local trades.

Outcome

We were brought in early on the next two locations to help streamline the design, coordinate MEP systems, ensure DOB compliance, expedite permitting, and keep each project buildable, on budget, and ready for construction in New York City. The resulting build-outs were executed efficiently and warmly received.
