New Rochelle Facade EXTERIOR Renovation
Rojas AP was brought on board to implement the redesign of the exterior of an existing brick and stone five-story commercial building. The scope included the redesign of the existing vestibule to meet ADA requirements, the removal and redesign of the first and second floor exterior wall system, brick and stone repairs to all facades, and the replacement of public sidewalks and street trees. The client was seeking to alter the existing facade with a dramatic curtain-wall system at the first two levels. Working from a rendering provided by the client, Rojas AP was able to take the clients vision into reality. Our team coordinated with the curtain wall contractor to review shops and monitor the installation. Rojas AP worked with the Bureau of Forestry to obtain approvals to redesign the existing street tree layout in order to center the entrance between the new trees. Also, the sidewalk replacement was required to create an ADA compliant entrance vestibule to the lobby. The sidewalk grade was changed to meet the vestibule entrance and pitched along the facade in order to meet the entrances of the retail stores on the first floor to reduce the length of the interior ramps. The project was completed and has transformed the street-scape of downtown New Rochelle.
