The 6th Floor terrace at 280 Park Avenue South, apart from its breathtaking views of the city, was in need of attention and repairs. STONE took the time, measurements, and exploratory work required to understand the composition of the existing roof system and what would be required to bring the terrace, and its surrounding decorative stone retaining wall back to safe and gorgeous standard of repairs and restoration.
The top floor of the gym was experiencing a lack of natural night due to the existing skylight being inactive and covered by protective tarp on the roof. STONE redesigned a new skylight, that would allow natural light penetration into the existing space that was not available before.
6TH FLOOR TERRACE ROOF SYSTEM REPLACEMENT
STONE replaced the existing roof system with a new gravel system that gives the open terrace a natrual look with the restored decorative stone retating walls.
6TH FLOOR TERRACE ROOF SYSTEM REPLACEMENT AT ENTRANCES
At the entrances of the 6th floor terrace, STONE scoped the insstallation of concrete pavers to contrast the adjacent gravel as well as create a solid base for amenities to be provided to the residents. New dividing walls were also installed to allow for privacy without obstructing the views.
Withe the existing skylight was incapacitated due to protective tarp overlayed on top, the expansive gym below lacked the necessary natural light it deserved. Especially with the gym located at the top of the building with no obstructions around. STONE utililzed that space and a proposed design that replaced the existing skylight with new and gave the space below a new visual aesthethic above and the sunlight the gym deserves.
STONE also considered the insterior of the gym space below, refurinshing the opening of the skylight to accomodate the new skylight that was taller, accepting more light while not compromising interior termperatures throughout the year.
