The Langham
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the complete restoration of the building’s terracotta facade, marquee entrance and sidewalk areaway cast iron railings. The Langham at 135 Central Park West is a historic Clinton and Russell apartment building that was completed in 1907.
In keeping with the historic nature of the building the marquee restoration included the reinstallation of a long since destroyed glass frieze. Additionally, Sciame oversaw the complete replacement of the sidewalk, and the construction of additional tenant storage in the sub cellar.
One of the biggest challenges of this restoration was the requirement to preserve the tenant’s main entrance access throughout the duration of the project, and to minimize any obstructions to the tenants’ views of Central Park.

Project Spotlight: New York City Center Renovation Project @nycitycenter
Location: 131 West 55th Street | Completion: 2011 | Size: 165,000 SF / 2,200 Seat Theater | Client: New York City Center | Architect: @enneadarchitects
Exterior Restoration Architect: @dattnerarch | LEED Silver
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the renovation of the New York City Center. The center produces the Tony-honored Encores! Great American Musicals in Concert® series and is home to some of the country’s leading dance companies, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, Paul Taylor Dance Company and Morphoses, as well as Manhattan Theatre Club, one of New York’s leading theater companies.
Sciame Construction along with Ennead Architects were responsible for the exterior restoration and interior renovations necessary for the landmarked theater’s ongoing mission of making the arts accessible to the broadest possible audience. This two-phased project included the façade restoration and theater back-of-house interior renovations over an extended summer period in 2010, followed by a major renovation and restoration of its historic interiors in the summer of 2011.
The interior work included replacing stage technical systems with state-of-the-art equipment, improved auditorium seating and sightlines, expanded restrooms and concession areas, and the restoration of historic paint and lighting. The project dramatically improved amenities for both artists and audiences.

2006 - Bronx Library Center | 310 East Kingsbridge Road, Bronx | 80,000 SF | Client: New York Public Library | Architect: Richard Dattner & Partners Architects | LEED: Silver | 📸: Jeff Goldberg / @estophoto
* * *
Sciame was the Construction Manager responsible for the Bronx Library Center, which was created with one major goal: to serve as the central library of the Bronx’s thirty-four branch libraries.
The Bronx Library Center is the first NYPL branch to be LEED certified. The building includes many sustainable features, such as use of daylight, lighting controls, enhanced ventilation, and energy efficient systems that make use of “green” recycled and regional materials. Sciame was able to meet the challenge of obtaining a LEED Silver Rating while keeping the project under budget and ahead of schedule.
The 80 foot high, five-story building features a distinctive swooping roof design, a complex high performance curtain wall that provides natural light while preventing glare, and granite on the exterior that complements the brick texture of the library’s surrounding neighborhood.
Interiors feature natural materials such as granite wall surfaces, clear maple millwork, and terrazzo floors. The dramatic sloping ceiling on the fourth floor is clad with perforated acoustic maple panels, as are the walls in the 150-seat auditorium located on the concourse level.
