From a statistical standpoint, elevators are the safest way to travel. Elevator music was installed in the 1920s in an effort to calm the fearful riders. The first elevator was right here in the Big Apple in a 9-story building. It’s nice to know that while elevators are supported by many cables, in fact any one cable is strong enough to carry the elevator and its passengers. Urbanites love fresh air, views and being up on the roof, so many rooftops are being renovated for schmoozing, relaxing and socializing.
We were called to a building where the rooftop was getting a new bar, some event space and a remodel. Obviously, the elevator lobby needed to match the class of the rooftop, so we painted it an elegant black matte, in washable paint. Now guests streaming to the rooftop will experience a hint of the sophistication and style to be discovered in the fresh air, with the views, up on the roof. As the 1962 song “Up On The Roof” by The Drifters goes:
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space.
