The Bristol
The Bristol, also known as 310 East 65th Street, is a luxury building on New York's Upper East Side. Working alongside Walsh Associates, the Bristol's elevator easily checks off a trio of criteria many try, even hope for, but seldom do - Durable, Stylish, and Budget-Friendly!
“The Bristol's elevators easily checks off a trio of criteria many try, even hope for, but seldom do - Durable, Stylish, and Budget-Friendly!”
The elevator designs are engineered on the raised-removable system. They feature upper and lower panels, but before we get to the main attraction, let's first do a quick run-through of all the extra stuff. The drop ceiling is faced with stainless steel satin finish and furnished with six Man-D-Tec Solobeam downlight fixtures. The reveals, fronts, strike, transom, base, and chair rail are all also faced with stainless steel satin finish. The upper wall panels, specifically the left and right sides, are composed of three horizontal running panels faced with Wilsonart laminate "Avenue Elm" divided by stainless steel inlays. The upper center wall also consists of three horizontal panels faced with Wilsonart laminate "Calcutta Marble" and accompanied by two vertical running safety laminated mirrors on either side. The three lower panels are all faced with Banker Wire architectural mesh, M33-2 in stainless steel. The floor is furnished with a gray stone to keep in line with the elevator design's neutral color palette.
In terms of design, The Bristol has it all. It is a bold statement, but it is anything less than accurate. It achieves what many buildings want for an elevator, mainly durability, without sacrificing aesthetics or the budget. In many cases, you usually only meet one or two of these criteria but rarely all three, which is precisely what makes this elevator design special.
