Pallet for Home

workshop/apd completed the renovation of a Tribeca, NY loft in 2009, the focal point of which is this tremendous staircase.
Paying homage to the Baroque staircase attributed to 17th century English master Edmund Pearce (on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), workshop/apd fashioned a contemporary update for a modern Tribeca loft. Where Pearce incorporated oak leaves and pine cones, workshop/apd digitized interlaced tree branches to create an element of modern-day beauty and craft in water-jet cut steel, bringing fancifulness and ornamentation back to architecture. Like its predecessor, the dramatic scroll — now in perforated steel — weaves the two floors together in a unique way.
