About Us

NEW CONSTRUCTION.
RENOVATION.
Remodeling.

New Construction. Zoning ordinances, building codes, environmental issues—a mistake in any of these areas can halt construction. Our experience handling these critical up-front details has saved time and money for many. It’s kept dreams alive.

Renovation. You might be working with a building that is run-down or abandoned, or in the wrong configuration. If you are looking at a building for commercial use, consider the changes time could bring. A space might have the right square footage today, but does it have the right number of offices? Does it have sufficient meeting space? Will it still be a fit after ten years of growth?

Remodeling. Kitchen remodel, more storage space, or a new bathroom design—whatever your needs, we analyze them in light of what is possible.

H2 is certified as an Empire State Development State Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Program (MWBE).

testimonials

We would highly recommend H2 Architects for your project. Yungie and Christoph helped us with a major, gut renovation of our Tribeca Loft several years ago, and we were really pleased with the results. Not only are they excellent architects from a technical perspective, but they are great interior designers for furnishings and finishes, and there was no need to hire a separate firm. They provided quite “practical” advice as well – having children of their own, for example, helped us to think through what was practical for our family – what’s appropriate for kids, vs. what might be excessive. They also did a fantastic job managing the various contractors, costs, etc. We recently decided to sell our apartment, and our real estate agent, upon seeing the results and finish decided to increase our asking price to one much higher than we expected to get in the market – and we were successful. So, you will really get value from H2 both as you enjoy your home and also from a valuation perspective.

I have been thrilled to work with H2 architects over the years on both personal and commercial projects. Yungie and Christoph bring a wealth of expertise and a personal touch to every project. Their elevated sense of design and deep knowledge of how to execute to a high standard without costing more than is necessary mean that you receive high quality at a reasonable price. You can count on them being attentive, patient, talented and strong advocates for your interests from start to finish. I recommend them highly.

When we decided to expand our business and build our new location on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, H2-Architects were an easy choice: The time they took to give us their educated opinion even on locations that didn’t end up working, showed me that their interest in helping us was genuine and earnest. And once we started the project, it became clear quickly that we made the right decision: Their impeccable taste, decades of hands-on expertise, combined with 100% transparency and a deep understanding of who we are as a business and what our families look for in a school made the process a smooth and clear one.

To this day – a couple of years after the completion of the project- visitors who come to our school for the first time, never fail to comment on the space: How child-friendly and beautiful it is, how tastefully the materials are chosen and how much they would have loved to attend a school of this quality when they were growing up. And – maybe even more importantly – the kids (ages 6 months to 5 years) love the space and clearly make Rella’s Spielhaus their home away from home immediately. Much of this is because Yungie understood what we were trying to create and supported our vision completely.

Any building project – commercial or personal is a major undertaking both emotionally and financially. H-2 Architects truly took me by the hand and didn’t let go until the kids moved in. I am so glad that I chose H-2 architects for what was a major project for me and my business. I truly can’t recommend Yungie and Christoph more wholeheartedly. And if we get lucky and get to build another location, H-2 Architects will hopefully do their magic again. That would be lovely.
