Running parallel to the street façade, the transparent staircase connects the entrance to the second floor and is framed by a glass façade with OKATECH Expanded Mesh. The aluminum inserts act as an attractive design element and provide effective sun and glare protection.
The building has won multiple awards, including the AIANY Architecture Citation Award (2018), SARA NY Design Excellence Award (2017), NYC Chapter AIA Projects Merit Award (2013) and the NYC Public Design Commission Excellence in Design Award (2011).
