IA built the structures for Kaneka OLED+Shozo Toyoshisa, a two-day installation at the Museum of Art and Design.
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.

Last Saturday, we craned in 10,000 pounds of structural steel in order to combine two buildings in Brooklyn.
Watch the hand excavation, installation of a temporary shoring column, removal of a cistern, and construction of a temporary enclosure as IA builds a rear extension in Brooklyn Heights.
Bonus: blizzard footage at the end.
Watch our subcontractor, Gryf Marble & Tile, expertly install shower tile from start to (almost) finish.
The architect on our UES project visited the shop at Boston Valley Terracotta to review the facade fabrication. The material, developed by MKCA and BVTC, is a "through-body ceramic with a fine specialty aggregate used as a brownstone replacement material that is beautifully sculpted, high performing, and true to the historic materials of the era." We're excited to get our hands on it!

We just finished demo and installation of new structure at our job in Lower Manhattan. See the photos below:
Over the weekend, we craned 4 large pieces of Vitrocsa glass and 3 flights of Caliper-built stairs into our job on the Upper East Side.
