166 Duane Street New York, New York 10013

History

166 Duane Street, also known as Duane Park Lofts, was built in 1910 as a commercial and industrial building in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Designed in the Renaissance Revival style, the structure features a red-brick façade with a limestone base and decorative Beaux-Arts details, typical of early twentieth-century industrial architecture.

Later converted to residential use, the building was transformed into condominium loft homes in the late 1990s. Today, Duane Park Lofts continues to serve as a residential building that preserves much of its original character within the Tribeca Historic District.

Concrete & Coating

Concrete is one of the most frequently used building materials. It is used extensively for a wide range of construction work, such as footpaths, driveways and roads, residential and commercial construction – floors and walls, foundations and footings, for posts, fences and walls, and even boat hulls.
Precast concrete is typically stronger than natural cut limestone, but it doesn’t have the look of natural cut stone. Cast Stone, on the other hand, solves both problems. Cast Stone can be stronger than precast concrete and is easily cast to produce identical pieces.

Architectural Metals

Architectural metalwork is a unique factor in the building process that involves using metalwork practices to create structures that are not only functional but also have a strong aesthetic role to play too. It is the bringing together of metalwork and architecture.
Architectural steel fabrication often involves the use of decorative elements, such as ornamental railings, staircases, and facades. On the other hand, structural steel fabrication is concerned with the strength and stability of the building.
