DRPILLA was responsible for delivering structural engineering design services for the conversion of a pre-existing six-story Georgian-style townhouse located at 16 E 55th Street into a distinctive space for contemporary art. The renovation brings new life to the early 20th-century building accommodating more than 5,600 square feet of new exhibition space spread across the first three levels.
