16th Street Co-Op – Flatiron, New York, NY

Project Description

ALine was honored to redesign the lobby/first floor, breezeway, hallways, and elevator cabs at this cooperative building in the Flatiron district. We redesigned and re-branded the space to include new branding throughout the whole building, including an illuminated sign visible from the exterior. Additional features include:

The Breezeway:

  • Asymmetrical floor pattern that guides guests between the two buildings while being visually pleasing
  • Hanging LED wire chandelier to provide the feel and look of an art installation

The Lobby:

  • New concierge desk designed to be both stylish and functional, incorporating new equipment
  • Package storage room reconfigured to maximize storage potential
  • Raising the lowered lobby seating area to be level with the rest of the space for ADA accessibility
  • New modern glass railings & partitions
  • Three different sources of lighting including lighting coves, sconces, and decorative lighting
  • New wall finishes throughout including wood, vinyl wall covering and stone
  • Furniture that complements the new design and creates a welcoming, at-home feeling
  • Window seats built into the existing architecture allow for more flexibility in the space
  • Modern USPS approved mailboxes with a stone counter that is both attractive and durable
  • New built-in cabinetry below mailboxes to conceal recycling and trash receptacles
  • New decorative lighting above the mailboxes

The Corridors:

  • Plush, custom-designed Axminister carpet for a warm, at-home feeling
  • Vinyl wallcovering to add texture and lasting beauty
  • Contrasting paint shades for the doors and trim to bring a burst of color that coordinates to the new scheme
  • Brushed nickel ceiling fixtures with coordinating sconces to unify lighting color and create a brighter and more energy efficient lighting scheme
  • Modern crown molding profile for an upscale finishing touch
  • New door chimes and engraved door viewers to create a clean, consistent modern look
  • New signage to coordinate with the new scheme and finishes
  • Cleaned and repaired door saddles

The Elevator Cabs:

  • More energy-efficient lighting
  • More durable flooring
