Empire State Building 80th Floor Gift Shop (NYC)
The scope of our services included, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Sprinkler, Fire Alarm and Electrical. This job required coordinating with Designers, Architects and Buildings Engineers. The renovated gift shop required integrating HVAC ducting and registers with built in furniture and coordinating sprinkler head locations with lighting design.Photo shows sprinkler head designed into center of custom lighting fixture. This was required to obtain proper sprinkler coverage. The design is such that it is not apparent that a sprinkler head is part of the light fixture.
Rough Trade record store and concert venue 64 North 9th Street Brooklyn, NY
The scope of our services included, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Sprinkler, Fire Alarm. This trendy space of approximately 10,000 square feet included shipping containers originally intended for sub-tenant spaces within record store. The record store included a concert venue space. Design challenge for this was a shared egress between two separate occupancy groups. This required meetings with the fire department related to fire alarm design due to mixed occupancy. Additionally, extra sprinkler heads in the path of egress were required.Picture shows retail space and one of the shipping containers.
