This New York Financial Firm staircase is located in midtown Manhattan. Feature Walters worked on the interior staircase with Structure Tone, who was awarded the workplace and conference center. The scope was to encourage interaction among staffers and give them a light, bright environment—both of which would be difficult given the 50,000- to 100,000-square-foot floor plates.

The architectural firm LSM was familiar with this New York Financial Firm office and the challenges of mid-century structures, having transformed offices in the Seagram Building and Lever House. Utilized in the space were curves throughout the building to soften the design. Meeting rooms and stairwells were rounded, as well as the furnishings, such as the curved reception area, chairs, marble-topped coffee table, and sofa. The conference center’s feature stair widens at the top and bottom to form an elegant curvature that pulls you up. The curved theme and sophisticated simplicity are carried throughout with glass railings and guardrails of the conference center’s stairs.

Feature Walters was involved in the process early on with design assist. Based on the design Feature Walters then fabricated the staircase components. Metropolitan Walters in New York completed the installation.
