据报道，位于纽约市11街707号的“文艺复兴”建筑将开展翻新工程，计划安装两台由轻质钢板制成、在石膏板井道穿行的电梯。该建筑最初于1901年由钢琴制造商Kohler＆Campbell建造，高六层，曾是设计师Kenneth Cole的陈列室，现由开发商SL Green改成多租户的办公楼。Design Republic的建筑师使用了红色、白色和黑色调色板作为室内装饰，并让街头艺术家在上面创作壁画。近日，大众对新冠肺炎疫情扩散的担忧，给这时尚的黑色电梯系统带来了变化，其中包括新增目的层分配系统，扩展了大堂的空间，并增加了功能，通过对电梯进行预编程就可以将乘客带到其所前往的楼层。
CUSTOM ELEVATORS PART OF HISTORIC RENOVATION IN NYC
Two new elevators built of lightweight steel in drywall shafts are part of the renovation of the turn-of-the-century, six-story Renaissance Revival building at 707 11th Avenue in NYC, a building that formerly served as a showroom for designer Kenneth Cole, the Commercial Observer reports. Originally built for piano maker Kohler & Campbell in 1901, the building is being transformed by developer SL Green into a multitenant office building. Design Republic architects went with a red, white and black color palette for the interior and commissioned street artists to create a mural. COVID-19 concerns meant changes for the sleek, black elevator system, with the incorporation of a destination-dispatch system, a larger lobby and the ability to preprogram elevators to take tenants to their floors.
