130 PRINCE STREET
Architectural renovation project at 130 Prince Street in SoHo, Manhattan, NYC, featuring a spiral staircase bookshelf modeled after the golden ratio.
Architect: Bjarke Ingels Group
Fabrication: Crystal Steel Fabricators Inc.
Client: Madison Capital
Location: SoHo, New York, NY
As an Architectural Designer at Crystal Steel Fabricators, Inc., I was given the task to reverse engineer the statement piece spiral staircase. It required dividing it into sections so that it could be hoisted inside the existing building structure through the window, and on-site welding without any surface grinding. The stair in it’s entirety is made of carbon steel with a raw blackened finish done on-site.
