Bates Masi + Architects has designed ‘Asset’, a new restaurant in Manhattan, that’s located within an old building that had architectural details hidden behind years of renovations.
“In the renovation of 329 Columbus Avenue to create Asset restaurant, we sought to excavate the existing space in search of unique textures and hints of the past that would enrich the guest experience.” – Bates Masi + Architects
Through the process of 3D scanning, they discovered that vaults of expanded metal lath were tucked out of sight above the fire rated ceiling. The vaults were reintroduced as an exposed element, helping to conceal steel girders.
The process of excavation was also applied to the oak paneling on the walls, like in the bar area. The boards were sandblasted to erode the soft earlywood that lies between the harder latewood grain, thereby enhancing its character and increasing its sound absorption.
