This existing building is the home of STONE Engineering and thus treated with the same respect and attention to detail as any other of our projects. The existing building required a facelift due to its aging and cracking stucco, wearing joints, and rusting structural elements. STONE rehabilitated the facade by replacing the stucco with new, adding a new vinyl linear wood system at the base of the building, and designing a louver system that conceals the existing fire escape beyond.
STUCCO REPLACEMENT & LOUVER INSTALLATION
STONE replaced the existing, aging stucco with a new stucco system that contrasted the neighborhood masonry with a light gray tone. STONE also designed a new louver system to give a new appeal to the building.
To differentiate the look of the facade, STONE scoped the installation of a linear vinyl wood system at the base of the facade that wraps around from North Elevation to West.
STONE designed a new louver system to coincide with the direction of the fire escape beyond, thus concealing the fire escape and providing necessary privacy to the POPS space beyond the retaining wall from traffic.
STONE also scoped the rehabilitation of the existing building rear fire escape; scraping, priming, and repainting of the fire escape to match the newly adjecnt louver system in front.
COPING COVER REPLACEMENT & TOP MOUNT RAILING INSTALLATION
STONE scoped the replacement of the existing coping covers with new in black to match the surrounding black elements around the building. The new top mount louver railing also matches the new louver systems around the building.
The existing building bulkhead was also rehabilitated with full stucco replacement in tandem with the replacment of drainage elements for the bulkhead such as new leaders, gutters, and downspouts.
