Yonkers turned its mills into homes. The concrete has opinions.
Along the river, Yonkers' carpet mills and daylight factories have become loft apartments and studios — concrete-frame buildings with steel-sash windows and the thermal personality that construction brings.
Conditioning the converted factory.
A concrete-frame loft behaves like neither a house nor a modern apartment: the frame soaks and releases heat slowly, the great steel window walls run hot in sun and cold in wind, and the open volumes stratify the air the moment anyone stops stirring it. We design for the building type — perimeter output along the window lines where the loads actually enter, distribution that fights stratification in tall open plans, humidity handled for interiors where bare concrete and old steel meet modern living — and we work within each conversion's rules on routing, mounting, and what the exposed aesthetic will tolerate.
The hill city beyond the mills.
Yonkers rises from the river in neighborhoods of every type the region makes — prewar co-ops, two-families, postwar colonials — and we serve them on scheduled terms from Clifton, from boiler plants to apartment cooling to full residential replacements quoted in writing at the property.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yonkers questions, where the mills became homes.
Our Yonkers loft is drafty at the windows and stuffy in the middle. Is that the building?
It is the building type — perimeter loads at the steel sash, still air in the deep plan — and the design answer is output placed at the perimeter with circulation that keeps the volume mixed. Equipment alone, placed wrong, cannot do it.
Can systems be installed without hiding the loft's exposed character?
Yes — exposed-friendly equipment and routing are part of loft practice, selected and run so the mechanical work reads as intentional in a space that shows its bones.
Pacific Air also serves neighboring Mount Vernon and Tarrytown.
