The design utilizes sustainable strategies to minimize costs and energy consumption.
The structure of the new roof is fabricated from engineered glue-laminated lumber.
A high efficiency air conditioning and heating system was installed and high efficiency halogen bulbs used for artificial lighting. Ceiling fans were also installed.
The exterior is clad with aluminum/plywood composite panels, fabricated within 400 miles of Staten Island and custom cut on site.
The roof is coated with a white coating to minimize heat gain.
The interior, designed by Alexandra Fernandez of DNA Design Group, features tensile fabric sails in continuation with the sails in the bar which were also designed by her.
Mahogany from certified sustainable forests was used for the column enclosures along with trim, water based carpet adhesive and low VOC carpeting.
The project has been honored with an AIA Award.
