In this episode, Cherise is joined by Jeffrey Murphy, Partner and Zach Poole, Senior Associate from Murphy Burnham & Buttrick, or MBB, Architects in New York City.

Jeff and Zach share their insights into restoring and renovating Trinity Church Wall Street at 89 Broadway, New York. The church is a designated historic landmark, built in 1846. This was the first large-scale renovation of the church in 60 years.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

MBB’s mandate was to enhance and refocus the church’s role as a house of worship and a performing arts space. MBB balanced historic preservation techniques with modern infrastructure and accessibility requirements.

This project had unique challenges and opportunities:

  • Integrating modern infrastructure and technology into the historic context,
  • discovering hidden architectural elements during demo,
  • meticulous coordination with an extensive consultant team,
  • and much more!
