Congrats to Toshiko Mori Architect and Collective LOK. Two of IA's projects - the Van Alen Institute and Peter Freeman Gallery - are finalists in the Architizer A+ Awards for Gallery Design. Head here to view the project profiles and vote before this Friday, April 1.
IA collaborated with the design team, Collective LOK, to build out this street level event space for the Van Alen Institute. The full gut renovation included new mechanicals, sliding glass doors, wood floors, a custom metal coffered ceiling and the installation of state-of-the-art sound, lighting and projection systems. IA was also instrumental in helping the Institute secure donations of material and labor from many of the subs and vendors who contributed to the creation of the space.

This gallery in the historic Soho Cast Iron District is located in an 1869 building previously used for manufacturing. IA's full renovation involved replacing the failing wooden structural system with brand new steel; minimally restoring the original wood floors to maintain the classic Soho feel; and the restoration of the cast iron facade.
