A variety of metals and applications
is evident on the sidewalk. At pedestrian level, painted aluminum
are broken by windows and doors
in an irregular pattern. The canopy also uses painted aluminum
panels, while next to a generous window below the canopy is
an etched brass section. Bead-blasted stainless steel mesh
is used above the first floor, veiling the brick wall of the
existing building behind it, accentuated by gaps between the
first and second floors. An overlap between the stainless
above and aluminum below shows the projections allowed
by the New York City Building Code (10" above 10'), though
more importantly it illustrates the layering of old atop new
that comes with renovations. |
