Storefront
Steel Storefronts
Retail and gallery frontages that respect the existing facade while meeting commercial requirements.
Overview
A storefront negotiates between an existing masonry opening and a contemporary commercial program. Steel makes that negotiation legible: fine members, large glass, resolved returns.
Landmark review, egress hardware and interface with base building construction are coordinated as part of the system selection.

- Restaurant and hospitality entrances
- Lobby screens
