The second floor deck renovation at Standard Tap with the spectacular "bridge" truss system was designed by RKM Architects. We came on board after the completion of this design, to coordinate the team of fabricators and installers and worked directly for the client to coordinate the deck expansion project. We created Sketchup renderings and hand sketches to help the fabricators and installers understand the complex geometry of the site, located on a pre-Revolutionary crossroads in Northern Liberties. The roof trusses were fabricated by blacksmith Warren Holzman using WWII era hot rivet techniques. The General Contractor was Drew Miller.
We went on to design and project manage a residential roof top addition and the gable overhang and the re-cladding of the entire roof and dormers with standing seam copper. We directed the general contractor in the construction of multiple mockups in order to ensure client satisfaction with the gable extensions.
