The elevation was renovated by removing the existing balcony and replacing it by matching to the other elevations at Baruch College, NY. The new elevation had the building name inscribed, along with some bronze and precast materials to highlight entrance.

OVERALL STOREFRONT ELEVATION

Designed the storefront elevations in accordance with the plan and requirements. The combination of stone & metal are played all throughout the elevations that are designed at various heights. The elevation is made of Jet Mist Granite – Thermal finish. The entrance elevation is built with Lasa White Marble. Top of Shelf and Top of Granite base were calculated to determine the size of the granite pieces.
