The Wayfarer, Midtown

The Wayfarer, a two-story restaurant at the Quin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan is a place where locals and hotel guests can enjoy fresh seafood-focused menu in an inviting setting.

Working with Meyer Davis Studios and MG & Company, we had the chance to work on this giant 8,800 lbs. steel staircase suspended in air with hanger rods and finished with wood cladding. With precise field measurements, we were able to generate shop drawings and prefabricate parts in our shop in Greenpoint and build the entire staircase suspended in air on-site. We also worked on the miscellaneous metalwork found throughout the restaurant bar area.
